Call it Cereus peruvianus. It's a Cereus, at least, see this article: http://www.cactiguide.com/article/?article=article3.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Cool plant. :D

The shape of the ribs is different. Rather than try to describe it, easier to show you - check out these links:
