{{Inc|
Heliocereus (sun and cereus). Cactaceae. Procumbent plants with weak stems clambering over rocks and bushes.
Branches strongly angled : ribs usually 3 or 4, bearing clusters of spines from all the areoles: ns. diurnal, large and showy, with a short tube; petals elongated; stamens long and numerous, declined; ovary and fr. spiny. — The four species known all come from Mex. The species of this genus readily hybridize with species of Epiphyllum (Phyllocactus) and other related genera, giving rise to many horticultural varieties.
