Type locality: Brazil. Distribution: Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. This species is widely cultivated, but under different names, one of which is Cereusacutangulus. The only specimens from wild plants which we have seen were collected byThomas Morong at Trinidad, Paraguay, and by J. A. Shafer at Ascencion, Paraguay, andat Salta, Argentina.

In the Gesamtbeschreibungder Kakteen (p. 136) he refers it to Cereus bonplandii. In the Nachtrage (p. 45) he puts 158 THE CACTACEAE.
