Disocactus × Smithii
''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 r ...

Epiphyllum
''Epiphyllum'' (; "upon the leaf" in Greek) is a genus of epiphytic plants in the cactus family (Cactaceae), native to Central America and South America. Common names for these species include climbing cacti, orchid cacti and leaf cacti, though the latter also refers to the genus '' Pereskia''. Description The stems are broad and flat, 1–5 cm broad, 3–5 mm thick, usually with lobed edges. The flowers themselves are large, with diameters ranging from 8 to 16 cm, white through red, with numerous petals. These flowers have notably short, nocturnal antheses, blooming only at night, and wilting at dawn. The fruit is edible, very similar to the pitaya fruit from the closely related genus '' Hylocereus'', though not so large, being only 3–4 cm long. The broad-leaved epiphyllum ('' Epiphyllum oxypetalum'') is particularly well known species that bears large, strongly fragrant flowers.

Disocactus Crenatus
''Disocactus crenatus'', commonly known as the crenate orchid cactus, is a species of cactus cultivated for its large flowers. It is a critical parent plant in creating epiphyllum hybrids commonly cultivated worldwide. Description ''D. crenatus'' subsp. ''crenatus'' The stem is erect to ascending, and profusely branched.

Disocactus Anguliger
''Disocactus anguliger'' (syn. ''Epiphyllum anguliger''), commonly known as the fishbone cactus or zig zag cactus, is a cactus species native to Mexico. The species is commonly grown as an ornamental for its fragrant flowers in the fall. Taxonomy and etymology This species was formerly placed in the genus ''Epiphyllum'' as ''Epiphyllum anguliger''. However, according to recent molecular research, it is actually a species of ''Disocactus''. The specific name derives from the deeply toothed stems (''anguliger'' = "angle bearing").
