Acanthocereus
Cactaceae
Southern United States to northern South America
Slender, ribbed cereoid cacti that lean and clamber through the scrub. Their large white flowers open after dark and are finished by morning.

Chollas · Cactaceae
Southwestern United States and northern Mexico
Jointed, cylinder-stemmed cousins of the prickly pears, armored in papery-sheathed spines. Joints let go at a touch and root where they fall — the genus's way of walking across a desert.
