Pilosocereus ulei

Pilosocereus ulei, previously attributed to K.Schum., was formally published in 1957 by Byles and G.D. Rowley. This species belongs to the Cactaceae family, a group of flowering plants primarily found in arid environments. The genus Pilosocereus is characterized by columnar cacti with spiny stems and nocturnal flowers. Pilosocereus ulei is native to Brazil and has since been recorded in other regions worldwide, indicating a broad ecological adaptability. Its global presence suggests it has been introduced to various habitats outside its native range, likely through horticultural or botanical exchanges.
