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).
