  Stenocereus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stenocereus is a genus of columnar or tree-like cacti from the Baja California Peninsula and other parts of Mexico, Arizona in the United States, Costa Rica, and Venezuela.
Stenocereus thurberi (the organ pipe cactus) is a well known member of this genus and is widely distributed in Arizona and northern Mexico.
The species list is referenced from cactiguide.com which is in turn referenced from several books which are listed on that site.

 Stenocereus in Flora of North America @ efloras.org
The phylogenetic relationships of North American columnar species were clarified by studies of silica bodies in the epidermis and hypodermis covering the stems of certain Mexican species, distinctive pigment cells, called pearl cells, in the fruit pulp, and sugar-bearing oleanane triterpenes in stem tissues (A. Gibson and K. Horak 1978).
Several of the Central American species assigned to Stenocereus by E. Anderson (2001) are too poorly studied to know whether or not they have the diagnostic characters for the genus.
A carefully done DNA phylogeny for all taxa with possible inclusion in Stenocereus is needed, especially to define more precisely the phylogenetic lineages and patterns of speciation (R. Wallace and A. Gibson 2002).
