Disocactus
''Disocactus'' is a genus of epiphytic cacti in the tribe Hylocereeae found in Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America. It should not be confused with ''Discocactus'', which is a different genus. Species of ''Disocactus'' grow in tropical regions either on trees as epiphytes or on rocks as lithophytes. They have two distinct growth habits. Species such as '' D. phyllanthoides'' have stems which are round at the base but then become flattened and leaflike. Many of the cultivated plants known as epiphyllum hybrids or just epiphyllums are derived from crosses between species of ''Disocactus'' (rather than ''Epiphyllum'') and other genera in the Hylocereeae., p. 286 Description The species of the genus ''Disocactus'' grow as epiphytes or lithophytes and are shrubby, profusely branched, hanging, up to 3 m long. The shoots are ribbed or flattened, 3-angled or flattened, ribbon-like, 3–10 mm wide, remotely crenate and leaf-like. The main shoot, which rot ...

Epiphyllum Hybrid
Epiphyllum hybrids, epiphyllums, epicacti, or just epis, also known as orchid cacti, which are widely grown for their flowers, are artificial hybrids of species within the group of cacti placed in the tribe Hylocereeae. In spite of the common name, epiphyllum hybrids mainly involve ''Disocactus'' species instead of ''Epiphyllum'' species, though ''Selenicereus grandiflorus'' and some unconfirmed ''Epiphyllum'' species were reportedly used for hybridization. Other sources include '' Pseudorhipsalis'' in the parentage of the group., p. 286 Nothospecies Named nothospecies include: * ''Disocactus'' × ''amaranthinus'' (Regel) M.H.J.van der Meer: ''D. crenatus'' × ''D. phyllanthoides'' * ''Disocactus'' × ''charltonii'' (Mast.)

Disocactus Ackermannii
''Disocactus ackermannii'' is an epiphytic cactus from tropical forests in the states of Veracruz and Oaxaca, Mexico. In cultivation, it has been confused with ''Disocactus'' × ''jenkinsonii'', a hybrid between '' D. phyllanthoides'' and '' D. speciosus''. Description The stems of ''Disocactus ackermannii'' consist of a short rounded base, about long, followed by longer flattened leaf-like portions, long and wide with wavy edges. The plant branches from the base and arches downwards, being altogether some long. The scarlet flowers have greenish throats and are funnel shaped, or even longer and up to across. The filaments are red but the base is usually greenish. The anthers are pale rose. The style are red. The stigma is purplish. Fertilized flowers are followed by green to brownish red fruits, long and wide. Taxonomy The species was originally named ''Epiphyllum ackermannii'' by Adrian Hardy Haworth in 1829. There are three sets of synonyms: * Haworth's ''Epiphyllum ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Disocactus Phyllanthoides
''Disocactus phyllanthoides'', the nopalxochitl or German empress, is a species of flowering plant in the cactus family Cactaceae. It is commonly grown as an ornamental houseplant. It is one of the three major species involved in creating the widely grown epiphyllum hybrids or "epis". The others are ''Disocactus speciosus'' and '' Disocactus crenatus''. Description Stems to 1 m long or more, branching, primary stems to 40 cm long, 6 mm thick, woody and terete at base, flattened at apex; secondary stems flat, lanceolate, acute, margins coarsely crenated or scalloped, obtusely toothed, with terete, stalk-like base, 15–30 cm long, 2,5–5 cm wide; areoles nude except for young growth; epidermis green or reddish, nearly smooth. Flowers campanulate, funnel-shaped, diurnal and scentless, 8–10 cm long, 7–9 cm wide, produced on year-old branches; pericarpel ovate with a few spreading bracteoles; entire receptacle 2.5–5 cm long, 7–10 mm ...

Disocactus Crenatus
''Disocactus crenatus'', the crenate orchid cactus, is a species of cactus and one of the most important parents in creating the epiphyllum hybrids commonly cultivated throughout the world. It is cultivated for its large white flowers. Description ''D. crenatus'' subsp. ''crenatus'' The stem is erect to ascending, profusely branched, primary stems terete (tapering at both ends) or 3-angled for a short portion at base, becoming ligneous (woody), flat at most of their length, secondary stems flat, flattened portions to 60 cm long, to 6–10 cm wide, stiff and rather succulent. The phylloclades are lanceolate to long linear, acute or obtuse, median nerve rather thick, margins deeply or coarsely crenate, lobes oblique; areoles at the bases of stems sometimes bearing hairs or small bristles, internodes (plant stem part between nodes) narrow or broad. The Epidermis is green or gray-green and smooth. The flowers are up to 18–29 cm long and 15–20 cm wide. The species is noc ...

Hylocereeae
The Hylocereeae are a tribe of cacti. Most are found in the tropical forests of Central and northern South America, and are climbers or epiphytes, unlike most cacti. The tribe includes between six and eight genera in different circumscriptions. The plants known as "epiphyllum hybrids" or "epiphyllums", widely grown for their flowers, are hybrids of species within this tribe, particularly ''Disocactus'', ''Pseudorhipsalis'' and ''Selenicereus'', less often ''Epiphyllum'', in spite of the common name. Description The members of the tribe are very variable in their morphology, especially when the terrestrial ''Acanthocereus'' is included. Many species form aerial roots. The hylocereoid clade (''Selenicereus'', ''Weberocereus'' and probably ''Aporocactus'') are mostly climbing or epiphytic, and have spiny ribbed stems. The phyllocactoid clade (''Epiphyllum'', ''Disocactus'', ''Kimnachia'' and ''Pseudorhipsalis'') are mainly epiphytic, and have spineless flattened leaf-like stems. F ...
