| | + | C. ventimiglia, Vaupel (Borzicactus ventimiglia, Riccob.). St.slender, 8- or 9-ribbed: spines in clusters of 8-10, spreading: perianth-tube elongated, opening into a large throat; petals red-violet: fr. small, globular, bearing few bracts. This species apparently does not belong to the true Cereus, and is probably much nearer Cleistocactus, as suggested in the Kew Bulletin. It was described from plants flowering in the Botanical Garden at Palermo, Italy, and which are said to have come from Ecuador. Borzicactus is a recently described genus, not yet intro. into American collections. |
