Serrulatocereus is a genus of cactus. It contains a single species, Serrulatocereus serruliflorus,[2] endemic to northwestern and central Haiti.[3]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1830 as Cereus serruliflorus by Adrian Hardy Haworth. In 2018, Alessandro Guiggi established the genus Serrulatocereus, transferring C. serruliflorus to it as Serrulatocereus serruliflorus.[4] Independently, in 2017, what was considered to be a different species was described as Cereus haitiensis. However, this was an illegitimate name as it had already been used for another species. Accordingly, in 2019, the name Cereus ayisyen was published as a replacement for C. haitiensis.[5] The specific epithet ayisyen means "Haitian" in Haitian Creole.[6] As of October 2023, C. ayisyen is considered by Plants of the World Online to be a synonym of Serrulatocereus serruliflorus.[3]
