Read about Bergerocactus emoryi in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Bergerocactus emoryi, Brit. & Rose (Cereus Emoryi, Engelm.). Prostrate or ascending, 6-10 in. high, 1-2 in. diam., often forming thick masses 10-20 ft. in diam.: fls. 1-2 in. broad: fr. 1-1½ in. diam. On mainland and Isls. of S. Calif., and N. Low. Calif.—This species, native of Calif., can easily be grown in the open in the southern part of that state. It forms large masses and care must be taken that it does not preempt more than its share of the garden. The species has long been in the trade, but it does not do well in the greenhouse, and it is hardly to be recommended for the small collection. Its slender sts., covered with striking yellow spines, are very unlike any of our other cereus-like plants. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
