Samaipaticereus corroanus
A slender, tree-like columnar cactus from the dry inter-Andean valleys around Samaipata in Bolivia, with small white tubular flowers. It is rarely grown; treat it as a bright, warm-growing cereus that wants a drier, cooler winter.
Where it grows wild
Grows in seasonally dry deciduous forest and thorn scrub on slopes of Andean valleys, often among shrubs and small trees. Microhabitat detail is thin and generalised from similar Bolivian columnar cacti.
Recorded at 1,219-1,976 m, median about 1,700 m.
