Stenocereus heptagonus
Stenocereus heptagonus is a species of cactus.
Stenocereus heptagonus is endemic to the West Indies, including Saint John in the Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Cuba, Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic and Haiti), and Puerto Rico (mainly the islands of Caja de Muertos, Culebra, Desecheo, Magueyes and Mona). Its flowers are pollinated by bats such as Brachyphylla nana, Monophyllus redmani, and Phyllonycteris poeyi. Plants are found growing along with Bonellia stenophylla, Bourreria succulenta, Guaiacum officinale, and Maytenus loeseneri.
