Pilosocereus pusillibaccatus is a species of low-growing, cluster cactus with yellow spines, a green stem and small fruits [2]
Pilosocereus pusillibaccatus was described in 1986, by Pierre Josef Braun and Eddie Esteves. P. pusillibaccatus is often confused with Pilosocereus Machrisii [3] , and is in the Aurisetus group along with Pilosocereus vilaboensis, Pilosocereus aurisetus, Pilosocereus jauruensis, Pilosocereus parvus, and Pilosocereus machrisii. [4] The name "Pusillibaccatus" refers to the small fruit this species produces. [5]
