Cereeae
Salm-Dyck 1840

Etymology: Tribe of plants that resemble Cereus
Place of Origin: Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina primarily.

The typical genus of this tribe is Cereus (P. Miller 1754). It consists of large columnar cacti with well-defined ribs, large nocturnal flowers generally of light colors, and huge fleshy, sweet, edible fruits.

Although this is the general trend, there are also some genera that do not follow it. Uebelmannias are small and globular, Arrojadoas are miniature columnar cacti with small flowers and fruits, Melocactus are globular... Some members of the tribe flower from any areole, while others only flower from the cephalium.
