Trichocereus andalgalensis (Weber) Kreuzinger
(Source: Ritter 1980 Kakteen in Sudamerika Volume 2)
The name Trichocereus andalgalensis appeared twice in the literature.
Trichocereus andalgalensis (Weber) Kreuzinger (1935: Verzeichnis Sukkulenten mit Revision Syst. Kakt., S. 36)
and
Trichocereus andalgalensis (Weber) Hosseus (1939: Notas s. Cact. argent.)
Originally described as Cereus andalgalensis Weber (1898: in Schumann's Gesamtbeschr. Kakt., S. 151)
Said by Weber to occur in two varieties:
var. flaviflorus (yellow flowers)
and
var. rubriflorus (red flowers)
Ritter considered Cereus andalgalensis var. rubriflorus to be a synonym of
Trichocereus andalgalensis (Weber) Kreuringer
and
Cereus andalgalensis var. rubriflorus Weber to be a synonym of
Trichocereus huascha (Weber) Ritter (non Britton & Rose 1920; non Werdermann 1933)
Helianthocereus andalgalensis (Weber) Backeberg
and
Helianthocereus huascha var. rubriflorus (Weber) Backeberg
were both refered to Trichocereus huascha by Ritter.
Trichocereus andalgalensis var. auricolor
was proposed by Ritter (1980:2:438) as a new name for the combination of
Trichocereus auricolor Backeberg (1935: Backeberg & Knuth's Kaktus-ABC)
and
Helianthocereus huascha (Weber) Backberg var. auricolor (Backeberg) Backeberg
