Samaipaticereus Corroanus-IMG 3192
''Cleistocactus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the cactus family Cactaceae, native to mountainous areas - to - of South America (Peru, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina). The name comes from the Greek ''kleistos'' meaning closed because the flowers hardly open. Description The plants of the genus are slender stem succulents that are tall, mostly slender and often many-branched up to about 3 m high. They usually form basally branching shrubs, rarely they branch higher and form small trees. The shoots stand upright and then often hang over as they get older; they usually lie down with their ends rising up; more rarely they grow hanging. They usually have many ribs, closely set areoles and spines. The areoles on the ribs usually have many fine, hair-like spines with a few firmer spines in between; the spines are rarely longer and coarse. In most species, the flowers appear in large numbers individually from the areoles. The flowers are tubular and the tips hardly open with only t ...

Species
A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour, or ecological niche. In addition, palaeontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. About 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomen". The first part of a binomen is the name of a genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name (zoology), specific name or the specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cleistocactus Corroanus
''Cleistocactus corroanus'' is a species of cactus in the subtribe Trichocereinae, native to Bolivia and Peru. Along with '' Cleistocactus inquisivensis'', ''Cleistocactus corroanus'' has been placed in the genus ''Samaipaticereus''. A 2023 molecular phylogenetic study led to '' Cleistocactus'' being expanded to include ''Samaipaticereus'', among other genera. The expansion is accepted by Plants of the World Online . Description ''Cleistocactus corroanus'' grows tree-like and columnar, is heavily branched and reaches heights of 2 to 4 meters. The green, long, upright shoots are not articulated and reach a diameter of up to 8 centimeters. Five spines usually arise from the areoles of the four to six ribs, which cannot be differentiated into central and radial spines. They are short and greyish white, one of them longer than the others and pointing downwards. The numerous, constricted, funnel-shaped flowers are 4.5 to 5 centimeters long, open at night and remain open until the fol ...
