A native of the Gran Chaco region of Argentina, it is known also as,

Cereus balansae

A very rare Cactus with branching, columnar 4 sided spiny cactus that eventually forms an impenetrable thicket.

By summer, it produces large white nocturnal flowers reaching about 25cm in diameter (10 inches). The flowers wither, then fall off to produce bright red edible fruits.
