   This member of the Cactaceae family was given this name by Britton and Rose in 1919. It if found in the northern part of Argentina, growing in grit or well-drained soil with little water and some sun. The branches will reach for one to two meters. The flowers are yellow, and it can be reproduced by cuttings as well, which will form a caudex. I found mine at Hoogvliet in Hellevoetsluis, Holland in 2003.
