Comments

In the descriptions of Cereus phatnospermus K. Schumann (1899, 9: 167, 186)), and Cereus kroenleinii N. P. Taylor (1995, 50 (4): 819), the characters almost overlap. The reference of a similarity with Cereus spegazzini Weber made by the first authors of the two taxa should also to be noted. The second author, Kiesling in 1994, describes Monvillea kroenleinii (name not validly published) also comparing it to C. phatnospermus. These elements leave little doubt that C. kroenleinii is only a very recent description of the Schumann taxon. (Quoted from: Anceschi & Magli 2013b, 43)
