Ahora les agrego un breve resumen con enlaces, que puede servir para futura consulta. Lo ideal sería que el compañero que pueda, vaya agregando información; muy especialmente pienso que los compañeros chilenos pueden conocer mucho más sobre esta especie chilena.
Echinopsis chiloensis (Colla) H. Friedrich & G. D. Rowley
1974
CACTO, QUISCO
Cactus chiloensis Colla 1826, Cereus chiloensis (Colla) A. P. de Candolle
1828, Trichocereus chiloensis (Colla) Britton & Rose 1920.
Plants treelike, branching basally or nearly so, first at right
angles, then erect, to 8 m (26 ft) high. Stems stout, cylindrical,
10-12 cm (3.9-4.7 in) in diameter. Ribs usually 16-17,
low, broad, distinctly tuberculate. Spines pale yellow, later
gray, with brown tips. Central spine one, straight, erect, 4-7
cm (1.6-2.8 in) or more long. Radial spines 8-12, 1-2 cm
(0.4-0.8 in) or more long. Flowers open during the day,
white, to 14 cm (5.5 in) long. Fruits globose, green. Distribution:
Chile. Some concern has been expressed among conservationists
that the extensive collecting of dead stems of
Echinopsis chiloensis for the construction of rain sticks
(Chapter 2, under Other Uses of Cacti) might hurt populations
of the plants. I have observed that some populations
near towns and villages may be slightly affected but that there
does not seem to be a significant threat to the species.

ssp. chiloensis y ssp. litoralis
http://www.florachilensis.cl/FICHAS3/Ec ... oensis.htm
He colocado en los 3 casos el enlace que lleva a http://www.eriosyce.com, como para poder establecer la comparación entre las 3 ssp.
Ojalá sirva de ayuda y se pueda ir completando y afinando más.
Besos para tod@s!!
