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]
