Weberbauerocereus madidiensis is a species of Weberbauerocereus from Bolivia. [1]
Weberbauerocereus madidiensis grows as a shrub with more or less upright, cylindrical shoots 10–15(–33) cm in diameter, that branch out from the base and 5–7 meters tall. Areolas have (11)13 to 19 spines that are brown and yellowish spines in the apical part, slightly shiny, mature stems with thorns whitish below; ribs 16 to 24, 1–2.4 34.5–7.9 mm. Flowers located in the upper third already apex of stems, nocturnal, more or less radially symmetrical flowers stand horizontally from the shoot. They are up to 7.4–13.4 millimeters long with a 4.5–4.6 mm diameter. The strong flower tube is reddish and covered with dark hairs. The flower bracts are white at their base and pink at their tip. The spherical fruits are round, covered with scales and hairs, greenish-reddish to brown, white pulp with a diameter of 3 cm. [2] [3]
Plants are found in the Department of La Paz in Bolivia, growing in successional forest between 730 and 1200 meters.
Cleistocactus strausii, the silver torch or wooly torch, is a perennial flowering plant in the family Cactaceae. It is native to mountainous regions of Department Tarija, Bolivia, at 1,500–3,000 m (4,921–9,843 ft).
Bergerocactus emoryi is a species of cactus, known commonly as the golden-spined cereus, golden snake cactus, velvet cactus or golden club cactus. It is a relatively small cactus, but it can form dense thickets or colonies, with the dense yellow spines giving off a velvety appearance when backlit by the sun. From April to May, yellow, green-tinged flowers emerge, which transform into reddish, globular fruit. This species is native to the California Floristic Province, and is found in northwestern Baja California and a small part of California, in San Diego County and on the southern Channel Islands. Where the Mediterranean climate of the California Floristic Province collides with the subtropical Sonoran Desert near El Rosario, hybrids with two other species of cacti are found. It is the sole member of the monotypic genus Bergerocactus, named after German botanist Alwin Berger.

It is treated as a synonym of that genus by Plants of the World Online as of September 2023, but recognized as an alternative generic name in the third edition of the CITES Cactaceae Checklist. It may also be treated as Rebutia subg. Weingartia.
