Leuenbergeria quisqueyana, known as the Bayahibe rose,[2] is a species of cactus that is endemic to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, in the Dominican Republic.

[3] The species was discovered by the French botanist Henri Alain Liogier in 1977 as Pereskia quisqueyana, the description being published in 1980.

[4] Leuenbergeria quisqueyana[5] is a dioecious cactus that resembles a shrub and reaches up to 6 metres (20 ft) in height.

Its natural habitat includes Hispaniolan dry forests that are found on the southeastern coast of Hispaniola, particularly around the town of Bayahibe, its namesake.

[6] Law 146-11 of the Dominican Republic established the Bayahibe rose as the national flower of the country and ensured its protection due to its endangered status.
