Text Appearing After Image:
II E. Baton del. 1. Top of flowering stem of Cereus alacriportanus. 2. Top of stem of Cereus peruvianus. 3. Flower of the same plant. (Natural size.) CEREUS. 7 This species has long been in cultivation in the New York Botanical Garden under thename of Cereus alacriportanus, where it has frequently flowered. It differs somewhat fromthe description of C. paraguayensis by Schumann in the color of the spines and closenessof the areoles. Cereus bonaricnsis is referred here by Forster (Handb. Cact. 388. 1846) as a syn-onym. Sweet also used the name (Hort. Brit. ed. 3. 283. 1839) but does not associate itwith this species. Illustrations: Chodat, Veg. Paraguay 1: f. 90, as C. paraguayensis; Karsten, DeutscheFl. f. 501, No. 7. Plate 11, figure 1, shows the plant in the New York Botanical Garden above referredto, which flowered in April 1915.
