Where it grows wild

Columnar cactus on dry rocky slopes and in arid scrub on the Pacific side of the Andes; built from the measured range and what is known for the genus.

Few records carry an elevation; climate sites range from about 840 m to over 4,000 m, but the higher figures probably come from coarse grids and the species is more likely concentrated at mid elevations.
