When not in flower, this species bears a close resemblance to small plants of Cereus pectinatus. Flowers terminal, solitary, large, their width quite 3 in. when fully expanded; sepals reddish-green; petals rich sulphur-yellow; filaments reddish, very numerous; the flowers open at noon, and close after about two hours, even although the sun be shining full upon them.
The sun shifted from the center of the screen, and a smaller reddish-green disc came into view a planet, its atmosphere coloring the light that left it toward the red. It rushed nearer, grew larger.
