There are far more Hylocereus species and Selenicerues species than listed there, and it seems strange to call Cereus and others dragon fruit as they are very different, and even in market wouldnt be confused.  It is first time i see those other genera listed as "dragon fruit".

Yeah most of them are not dragon fruit. Myrtillocactus is called blueberry cactus here. They make small fruits that look like blueberries, all over the columnar stem.
