Cereus Blankii Poselger 1893 



Probably synonymous and a close neighbor of the Cereus Berlandieri Engelmann B ound. Comm. Rep. 

 1898. 



The flowers are differentiated from their close neighbors by their numerous petals (20), arranged in a 

 way that they are much closer to each other than to the species next to them, and by their short stems 

 with about fifty bundles of thorns that are flexible, white or pink and elongated to 2 cms. 

 The petals are a beautiful pink violet, satin on their inner surface, whereas on their outer surface they are 

 opaque, of a mat white color with some purple Striae that correspond to the nerves.
