The term ceroid cactus (or sometimes just cereus) is used to describe any of the species of cacti with very elongated bodies, including columnar growth cacti and epiphytic cacti.The name is from the Latin cēreus, wax taper (slender candle), referring to the stiff, upright form of the columnar species. Some species of ceroid cacti were known as torch cactus or torch-thistle, supposedly due to their use as torches by Native Americans in the past. The genus Cereus was first genus for such cacti and one of the oldest cactus genera. Its circumscription varies depending on the authority.

| - Obecný název cereus označuje kaktusy s výrazně podlouhlým růstem stonku. Převážně jsou sloupovité, ale i poléhavé, plazivé, převislé nebo popínavé. Botanický rod Cereus je nejstarším a základním rodem pro tyto kaktusy. Cereusy patří do podčeledi Cactoideae. (cs)

According to Cactiguide the word "cereus" was commonly and freely used to describe any tree-like cacti, although this general use of the word is regarded as misleading and the word ceroid or ceriform is preferred.
