Lasiocereus
Genus of cactus found in Peru
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lasiocereus is a genus of flowering plant in the family Cactaceae, native to Peru.[2] The genus was established by Friedrich Ritter in 1966.[1] It was formerly placed in subtribe Rebutiinae, but a 2023 molecular phylogenetic study suggested that it probably belonged to the subtribe Trichocereinae.[3]
