C. Guerrero & Helmut Walter 2019	<div><p>Eulychnia vallenarensis P.C. Guerrero &amp; Helmut Walter, sp. nov.</p> <p>Type: — CHILE: Region of Atacama, 20 km south of Vallenar, Panamericana Road km 645, 28.71338°S, 70.76097°W, 741 m. a. s. l. Guerrero 1258 (holotype CONC 185660!).</p> <p>Diagnosis: — Eulychnia vallenarensis is similar to E. acida from which differs by a shrubby habit (1–1.5 m vs. arborescent up to 6 m), semi-procumbent branches (vs. erect to ascending), shorter diameter (8–10 vs. 10–15 cm), with 8–10 ribs (vs. 9–16), and 1–5 radial spines per areole (vs. 1–10).</p> <p>Description: —Plants shrubby, 1–1.5 m high, forming large mounds. Branches sub-procumbent, with superior portions pointing upwards, 8–10 cm in diameter, yellowish green. 8–10 low ribs, 2.5–3 cm wide. Areoles with short grey felt, ca. 1 cm in diameter, 2–2.5 cm apart. Spines acicular, not numerous, new ones blackish, soon turning grey; 0–5 radials, 1–5 cm, mostly on inferior part of areole; 1–3 central ones, 5–15 cm. Flowers subapical to lateral, 6–8 cm; tepaloids spathulate with tips, always white, sepaloids always green; axils of bract-scales with scant, short and grey wool. Fruits mucilageneous, 5–7 cm, orange when mature, covered as for the flower. Seeds numerous, ca. 1.5 mm long; testa tuberculate and more or less ribbed.</p> <p>Etymology: —Species epithet refers to “Vallenar”, which is the main site around where the species occurs.</p> <p>Distribution: —From north of Domeyko (29° S) to the Rio Huasco Valley (28.5° S) at strictly inland habitats between 600 and 1300 m.a.s.l.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A22C2FA26DFF88FF0CE71EFE89F920	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Schlumpberger (2012: 29) proposed the new combination Leucostele coquimbana (Molina 1782: 170) Schlumpberger (2012: 29). In the meantime, the old name Cactus coquimbanus Mol. had been rejected for being ambiguous (Eggli &amp; Walter 2012, Wilson 2016) and thus this taxon has to be renamed. The next available basionym for these shrubby columnar plants occurring along the coast of the Coquimbo and Atacama Regions is Cereus nigripilis Philippi (1860: 23) and, as a consequence of the rejection of the name Cactus coquimbanus, all combinations using this basionym have to be abandoned too—including Leucostele coquimbana.</p> <p>Leucostele nigripilis (Phil.)

N of La Serena and 2 km from Panamericana to the coast, Leuenberger &amp; Eggli 2579 (CONC131947!).</p> <p>Description: —Plants shrubby, 0.5–1.5 m high, branching basally or laterally from lying branches, first erect, later semi-procumbent with ascending ends; branches slender, 4–8 cm diam. Ribs few, 8–13, deeply crenate. Areoles convex, oval, 1.0– 1.5 cm, with orange-brown or beige wool, later grey, 0.5–1.5 cm apart. Central spines 2–4, stout, straight or somewhat curved, 2.5–12 cm; 10–20 radial spines, 1–3 cm, thinner. Flowers white, 8–12 cm, subapical to sometimes apical; hypanthium greenish, bract scales tipped brownish-reddish, axils with dark wool and contorted hairs; style and stigma whitish; stamens greenish. Fruits 4–5 cm, blackish-brownish, ovoid, somewhat tuberculate, covered as for the flower; perianth remnant mostly persistent. Seeds 1.2–1.7 mm; hilum position ±basal.Note: The above description of the plants matches Philippi’s original protologue very well.</p> <p>Distribution: —From Coquimbo (30° S) to Tocopilla (22° 40 S), restricted to coastal plains and hills.</p> <p>Notes on lectotype and epitypification: —The lectotype designated by Muñoz (in Muñoz 1960: 92) is ambiguous since it combines flowers of Leucostele and Eulychnia. The contorted flowers of Leucostele are the ones with the long and slender tube and a short globular pericarpel, while the stout flowers of Eulychnia have a short tube and a large conical pericarpel.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A22C2FA26DFF89FF0CE461FF1EFC97	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
