Description

Arthrocereus glaziovii grows with erect shoots and slightly spreading side shoots from 1.5 to 2.5 centimeters in diameter. There are 12 low ribs on the shoots. The 20 to 30 spines are subulate, brownish to ash gray in color and between 1.5 and 2.5 centimeters long.

The white flowers are slightly curved and up to 6 centimeters long. Elongated fruits of up to 2 centimeters are formed. [2]

Distribution

Arthrocereus glaziovii is widespread in the east and south of Belo Horizonte in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais at altitudes of 1300 to 1750 meters. The distribution area covers around 1000 km².

Taxonomy

The first description as Cereus glaziovii by Karl Moritz Schumann was published in 1890. [3] The specific epithet glaziovii honors the French plant collector and botanist Auguste François Marie Glaziou, who lived in Brazil from 1861 to 1895. Nigel Paul Taylor and Daniela Cristina Zappi placed the species in the genus Arthrocereus in 1991. [4] Further nomenclature synonyms are Leocereus glaziovii (K.Schum.) Britton & Rose (1920), Trichocereus glaziovii (K.Schum.) Werderm. (1933) and Echinopsis glaziovii (K.Schum.) Molinari & Mayta (2015).
