    Cereus forbesii is a species of columnar cactus whose native range is Bolivia to N. Central Argentina.[2] The species is a branched, shrubby cactus that can grow up to 7 m (23 ft) in height, but is usually found at a height of 2 m (6 ft 7 in). It grows in arid hills, forests, plains, and on the edges of salt flats at an elevation of 500–2,000 m (1,600–6,600 ft).[3]
