Plant tall, up to 5 meters high, often much branched; ribs 5 or 6, high, thin, rounded, greenor often with large yellow patches along the sides; areoles distant, large, at first without spines,afterward a few developing; flower elongated, funnelform, 20 to 23 cm. long; inner perianth-segmentswhite, broad and obtuse; ovary naked, to 3 cm. long. Type locality: State of Rio de Janeiro, : Eastern Cereus hildmannianus. Although this species seems to be a common yard and park plant in Bahia and Rio deJaneiro, it has never been well understood. It there forms bushy plants and is usuallywithout spines. It is probably quite distinct from Cereus jamacaru, to which it has beenreferred by some authors; it grows in moister regions.
