Weberbauerocereus cuzcoensis

A columnar cactus from the dry inter-Andean valleys of Apurímac and Cusco in southern Peru. Little is published on this species, so this profile relies on the measured sites and on what is known for the genus: full sun, warm days, mild nights and a strict winter dry season.
