Stenocereus peruvianus R.Kiesling
Darwiniana 24: 446. 1982 [Jul 1982] nom. superfl. Remarks: Kiesling treated Cereus peruvianus Mill. as not based on Cactus peruvianus L. and cited Miller's species as the "basionym" of his Stenocereus peruvianus. [Contrary to Kiesling's belief, Cereus peruvianus is based on Cactus peruvianus.] Kiesling referred to, among others, Cereus hystrix Salm-Dyck as a synonym.
