Leucostele bolligeriana is a species of cactus found in Chile. [1] [2]
This plant is native to the hills of the Coastal Cordillera in Cardenal Caro, growing in proximity to the sea and on steep slopes. [2]
Initially collected in Punta de Lobos in 2003 by Helmut Walter and classified as Echinopsis bolligeriana, the species was named in honor of Dr. Thomas Bolliger, a cactus curator in Zurich. In 2012, Albesiano identified Trichocereus chiloensis var. conjungens as a synonym, based on similarities in rib and spine morphology. [2] In 2012, Boris O. Schlumpberger reclassified the species into the genus Leucostele . [3]
