More on that below.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It originates from the Santa Cruz Department in Bolivia. It grows in the highlands, at an altitude of 1300-1500 meters above sea level.

It therefore inhabits a rather dry, sun-exposed microhabitat in a humid, tropical climate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The trunks grow up to 2.5 meters long and are about 3 to 7 centimeters thick. They have 14 to 20 ribs, which are barely visible beneath the dense fur of soft, hair-like spines. The English name \"monkey's tail\" refers to the appearance of the hairy trunks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe flowers are about 7 to 8 cm long and intensely red. A cooler dormancy period at 5 to 15 degrees Celsius in winter promotes abundant flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This cactus can be found under many names, for example as:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cem\u003eCleistocactus colademononis\u003c\/em\u003e (German Wikipedia, with outdated reference to Diers \u0026amp; Krahn, 2003)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n \u003cem\u003eCleistocactus winteri\u003c\/em\u003e (English Wikipedia, with alleged subspecies \u003cem\u003eC. winteri\u003c\/em\u003e subsp. \u003ci\u003ecolademonis\u003c\/i\u003e [sic] with reference to Hunt, 2005)\u003csmall\u003e \u003c\/small\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cem\u003eBorzicactus aureispinus\u003c\/em\u003e (gbif.org, without recognized subspecies colademononis with reference to GD Rowley, 1975)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e and many other names, e.g. \u003cem\u003eWinterocereus\u003c\/em\u003e instead of \u003cem\u003eHildewinteria\u003c\/em\u003e (according to Metzling \u0026amp; Kiesling, 2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis confusion surrounding cacti is typical.
