Monvillea

16 species Cactaceae

Morphological Summary

Genus of columnar cacti of southern South America, mainly of the Southern Cone and Plata basin (Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, Chile). Thin climbing, semi-climbing or prostrate stems, frequently with mottled dark green and gray-white epidermis. White or pink nocturnal flowers, large (10–20 cm). Named in honor of Louis François Marie Monville (1776–1858), French amateur botanist and cactus collector. Some modern authors synonymize it with Cereus; maintained here for its traditional and morphological recognition.
