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. Cereus bonplandii brevispinus (Maass, Monatsschr. Kakteenk. 15) is only mentioned, but Mr. Weingart says it is identical with the hybrid Cereus jusbertii. vSchumanns treatment of Cereus baiansaei is confusing. In the Gesamtbeschreibungder Kakteen (p. 136) he refers it to Cereus bonplandii. In the Nachtrage (p. 45) he puts 158 THE the Balansa specimen (No. 2504, type) here, but not the name, while in his Keys of theMonograph of Cactaceae (p. 17) he recognizes C. balansaei as well as C. bonplandii, referringto the former the Argentine species C. pomanensis. Cereus rhodocephalus Lemaire (Cact. Gen. Nov. Sp. 79. 1839) is cited as a synonym ofCereus bonplandii. • We do not know Cereus urea-canthus Forster, (Hamb. :166. 1861); it is recorded as orig-inally from Peru. Forster thought itmight come next to Cereus bonplandii,but no species of this relationship haveheretofore been reported from Peru. Illustrations: Rep. Mo. 16: pi. 10, f. 3, 4, both asCereus bonplandii. Plate xxiv, figure 2, represents afruiting branch of a plant in the collec-tion of the New York Botanical Gar-den.
