Pereskia bahiensis
About
Pereskia bahiensis is a species of tree-like cactus that is endemic to the Brazilian state of Bahia. It was transferred to Rhodocactus in 2016 as Rhodocactus bahiensis, but this placement was not accepted by Plants of the World Online as of April 2026. Like all species in the genus Pereskia, and unlike most cacti, it has persistent leaves. In its native locality, it is used to form hedges.
