Stenocereus queretaroensis
The scented white funnel-shaped flowers are borne from the sides of the ends of the stems and are 7.8–12 cm (3.1–4.7 in) long and have a diameter of 4.5 to 6.7 centimeters.The fruits, which can be spherical and range in color from green to red or purple, have a diameter of 5 to 6 centimeters and are covered in thorns and hairs.[3][4] Stenocereus queretaroensis is commonly found in the Mexican states of Colima, Edomex, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, Querétaro, and Zacatecas, growing in deciduous forests and dry shrublands at altitudes of 0 to 1800 meters.Plants are found growing along with Ceiba aesculifolia, Neltuma laevigata, Parkinsonia praecox, Celtis pallida, Lophocereus marginatus, Myrtillocactus geometrizans, Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum, and Isolatocereus dumortieri.[5] This species was first described as Cereus queretaroensis by Albert Mathsson in 1891, with the name referencing its native region in Querétaro, Mexico.
