Lemaireocereus queretaroensis (=Ritterocereus queretaroensis), and
Selenicereus megalanthus. In contrast with tunas (fruit of cacti of the genus
Opuntia =Nopalea), the pitahayas are commonly larger. The genus
Lemaireocereus produces fruits that are globose, about 2.5" in diameter, red,
with many small clusters of spines. The flesh is dark red to purple. The
genera Acanthocereus, Cereus, Hylocereus, and Selenicereus produce oblong
to oval fruits, bright pink to red in color, sometimes more than 3" in length,
with large, leaf like scales on the surface. The flesh is most often white and
juicy and is filled with numerous, minute seeds. See also tuna and
strawberry pear.
