We describe a remarkable new genus and species of columnar cactus from the Montane Dry Forest of Bolivia. It differs from all other cacti known in the country by its combination of densely woolly many-ribbed stems and chiropterophilous flowers. We discuss its ecological adaptations, potential phylogenetic relationships and provide a conservation assessment.
