The 1 to 3 strong central spines are up to 4 centimeters long, the 8 to 10 marginal spines are up to 1 centimeter long.

The slightly zygomorphic, bright red flowers are up to 7.5 centimeters long and have a diameter of 3 centimeters. Their flower bracts are spread out. The spherical, brownish green to yellowish green fruits reach a diameter of up to 5 centimeters.[2]

Nathaniel Lord Britton and Joseph Nelson Rose placed the species in the genus Borzicactus in 1920.[5] Further nomenclature synonyms are Cereus sepium (Kunth) DC. (1828) and Cleistocactus sepium (Kunth) F.A.C.Weber (1904).

Self-oscillation

Schematic representation of a self-oscillation as a positive feedback loop. The oscillator V produces a feedback signal B. The controller at R uses this signal to modulate the external power S that acts on the oscillator. If the power is modulated in phase with the oscillator's velocity, a negative damping is established and the oscillation grows until limited by nonlinearities. Self-oscillation is the generation and maintenance of a periodic motion by a source of power that lacks any corresp...
