Quiabentia verticillata is a species of cactus found in the neotropical forests of the Gran Chaco region (eastern Bolivia, western Paraguay, northern Argentina, and parts of Brazil).
Like most cacti, it is a xerophyte, capable of growing in areas receiving very little precipitation. It has a laterally extensive, shallow root system.
Quiabentia verticillata is found in the neotropical forests of the Gran Chaco region (eastern Bolivia, western Paraguay, northern Argentina, and parts of Brazil). It grows in dry sandy soils, typically found at the edge of fields, in wastelands, at the side of roads, and opportunistically in vineyards and orchards when they are not irrigated.
