Notes
Cereus ayisyen is a replacement name for Cereus haitiensis A.R.Franck & Peguero, an illegitimate homonym of Cereus haitiensis Schelle. Schelle’s name was attributed to garden origin and published with the very brief description “hellgrün, gelbstachelig” without referencing the nearly verbatim description of C. grandiflorus var. haitiensis K.Schum., an apparently validly published, potential basionym. Although an explicit combination was not made by Schelle, Schelle was familiar with Schumann’s works. A
Mottram & Hoxey (2020) questioned if the Schelle name was validly published.B
