Night-blooming cereus is the common name referring to many flowering ceroid cacti that bloom at night. The flowers are short lived, and some of these species, such as Selenicereus grandiflorus , bloom only once a year, for a single night, [ 1 ] though most put out multiple flowers over several weeks, each of which opens for only a single night.
Selenicereus grandiflorus is a cactus species originating from the Antilles, Mexico and Central America.The species is commonly referred to as queen of the night, [2] night-blooming cereus (though these two terms are also used for other species), large-flowered cactus, sweet-scented cactus or vanilla cactus.
Acanthocereus tetragonus is a tall, columnar cactus that reaches a height of 2–7 m (6.6–23.0 ft). Stems are dark green, have three to five angles, and are 6–8 cm (2.4–3.1 in) in diameter. Areoles are grey and separated by 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in).
The term night-blooming cereus is also sometimes used, but this is also used for many night-blooming cacti, including Epiphyllum and Peniocereus. In 2017, the genus Hylocereus was brought into synonymy with Selenicereus. A number of species of Selenicereus produce fruit that is eaten.
Its name comes from the prefix penio-(from the Latin penis, meaning ‘tail’) and Cereus, the large genus from which it was split. [1] Known as the desert night-blooming cereus, it also shares its common names of "night-blooming cereus" and "queen of the night" with many other similar cacti.
