Jasminocereus

From the Galapagos Islands east of Ecuador and owned by Ecuador these cacti are extremely rare in cultivation because of the very strict rules they have for removing plants, seeds or anything else from the islands. Only 5 to 10 total specimens in the USA. The name signifies jasmine-like cereus with reference to the flowers.
