Read about Pachycereus in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Pachycereus (Greek, thick and cereus). Cactaceae. Usually trees, more or less branched, with very definite woody trunks. Flowers appearing during the day, with rather short tubes; petals short; stamens included; ovary and tube of fl. covered with small bracts bearing wool, hairs, and bristles in their axils: fr. large, burlike; seeds large and black.—The genus consists of 10 species segregated from Cereus. Confined to the drier parts of Mex. Cult, as for Cereus and related groups; see Succulents. This genus is closely related to Lemaireocereus, one of the several segregates of Cereus; C. queretarensis, Web., is Lemaireocereus queretarensis, Brit. & Rose, rather than a Pachycereus (see page 1836, Vol. IV). ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
