Praecereus euchlorus is a flowering plant in the family Cactaceae that is found in Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay at elevations of 700 to 1300 meters[1]
Description
Praecereus euchlorus initially grows slightly upright, is less branched and later bent over and leaning in sympathy. The slender shoots are up to 5 meters long. There are 4 to 14 low and sharp-edged ribs. The up to 20 thorns are weak, whitish, needlelike and often very unevenly long. The up to 4 middle spines, which may be missing, are up to 5 (rarely to 7.5) inches long. The much shorter edge spines have a length of 5 to 10 (rarely to 15) millimeters.
The white to greenish white flowers are up to 8 centimeters long. Their pericarpell and the flower tube are covered with very little scales and otherwise bald. The fruits are elongated.
