Harrisia martinii, commonly called the Martin applecactus, is a species of night blooming cacti native to South America. With large showy flowers that attract the hawk moth, it is considered by some a useful landscape plant in areas that do not freeze. [1] Note however that Harrisia martinii is considered an exotic invasive in Australia, Africa, and the U.S. state of Hawaii.
