Fig. 264. — Hylocereus undatus. 



plate xxxii, figure 1, shows a fruiting joint of a plant in the same collection brought from 

 Tehuacan, Mexico, by Dr. MacDougal and Dr. Rose in 1906. Figure 263 is from a photo- 

 graph taken by Paul G. Russell at Machado Portella, Bahia, Brazil, in 1915; figure 264 

 is from a photograph by A. S. Hitchcock, 1918, showing a hedge of night-blooming cereus 

 on a wall at Punahou College, Honolulu; the picture was taken early in the morning; the 

 preceding evening the hedge was viewed by hundreds of people. The plant, in Honolulu, 

 comes in full flower only once or twice a year and is then a marvelous sight.
