a wax candle.] (Bot.)
A genus of plants of the Cactus family. They are natives of

Night-blooming cereus is specially applied to the

beautiful, shortlived flowers. The
Cereus giganteus,
whose columnar trunk is sometimes sixty feet in height,
is a striking feature of the scenery of New Mexico,
Texas, etc.
