A beautiful cactus in bloom. Brought to the Arizona desert for landscape purposes it thrives in this climate. The Plant grows throughout Bolivia (LA PAZ, Chochabamba, Chuquisaca, Santa Cruz, Tarija and there might be areas in Peru where it grows as well. It´s not confirmed that there are intermediates but it´s very possible that there are some. Two very likely candidates for a natural hybrid involving Trichocereus bridgesii are Trichocereus scopulicola and Trichocereus riomizquensis. Trichocereus bridgesii grows at 1000-3000 meters.
''Echinopsis lageniformis'' , the Bolivian torch cactus, is a fast-growing columnar cactus from the high deserts of Bolivia.
Among the indigenous populations of Bolivia, it is sometimes called ''achuma'' or ''wachuma'', although these names are also applied to related species such as ''Echinopsis pachanoi'' which are also used for their psychedelic effects.
