Pilosocereus chrysostele is a species of Pilosocereus found in Brazil [1]
Pilosocereus is a genus of cactus native to the Neotropics. Tree cactus is a common name for Pilosocereus species. The genera Caerulocereus and Pseudopilocereus are synonyms of this genus.
The Cactoideae are the largest subfamily of the cactus family, Cactaceae. Around 80% of cactus species belong to this subfamily. As of August 2018, the internal classification of the family Cactaceae remained uncertain and subject to change. A classification incorporating many of the insights from the molecular studies was produced by Nyffeler and Eggli in 2010. Various revisions have been published since, e.g. to the tribe Hylocereeae and the tribe Echinocereeae. Classifications remained uncertain as of March 2019.
