Lasiocereus

Lasiocereus is a genus of flowering plant in the family Cactaceae, native to Peru.^[2] The genus was established by Friedrich Ritter in 1966.^[1] It was formerly placed in subtribe Rebutiinae, but a 2023 molecular phylogenetic study suggested that it probably belonged to the subtribe Trichocereinae.^[3]
