Although this beautiful Cereus is distinctly stated by 
Dr. Linptey to be a hybrid production, raised by Mr. Mat- 
LIsoN, gardener to Sir Samuet Scott, from seed of Cereus 
speciosissimus, fertilized by C. flagelliformis, and although 
this circumstance is quoted by Dr. Preirrer, yet this 
author raises it to the rank of a species, and defines it as 
“« C, Smithii ; suberectus ramosus 6-angularis viridis, ramis 
junioribus purpureis sinubus latis angulatis, costis vertica- 
libus repandis, areolis subremotis convexis, aculeis e to- 
mento brevissimo albido centralibus 5—6 divergentibus 
rigidis fuscescentibus, exterioribus setaceis flavis deorsum 
spectantibus.” It is a ready flowerer, and a great ornament 
to the Cactus-house.
