It is a natural hybrid between Pachycereus pringlei and Bergerocactus emoryi, discovered near Rosario, Baja California, Mexico. The plant's generic name is formed from those of its parents (Pachycereus and Bergerocactus); sometimes it can be found listed as Pachycereus × Bergerocactus.[2] This plant is known from less than half a dozen plants in the wild.[3]
