Epiphyllum Phyllanthus In Blüte
''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 are large, 8–16 cm diameter, white through red, with numerous petals. Flowers bloom only at night, and wilt 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. It bears large, strongly fragrant flowers that each usually open for a single night only. The plants known as epiphyllum hybrids, epiphyllums or just epis, which are widely grown for their flowers, are artificial hy ...

Epiphyllum Oxypetalum
''Epiphyllum oxypetalum'', the Dutchman's pipe cactus, princess of the night or queen of the night, is a species of cactus. It blooms nocturnally, and its flowers wilt before dawn. Though it is sometimes referred to as a night-blooming cereus, it is not closely related to any of the species in the tribe Cereeae, such as ''Selenicereus'', that are more commonly known as night-blooming cereus. All ''Cereus'' species bloom at night and are terrestrial plants; ''Epiphyllum'' species are usually epiphytic. Description The stems are erect, ascending, scandent, or sprawling and profusely branched. The primary stems are terete, up to long, flattened laterally, and ligneous at their bases. The secondary stems are flat, elliptic-acuminate, up to . The stem margins are shallowly through deeply crenate and undulate. Stems appear to be waxy therefore cutin may be present. Cutin reduces water loss from stems. A gel-like substance oozes out of stem cuts. Stems contain much water-filled tissue. ...

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 ...

Night Queen Flower1
Night (also described as night time, unconventionally spelled as "nite") is the period of ambient darkness from sunset to sunrise during each 24-hour day, when the Sun is below the horizon. The exact time when night begins and ends depends on the location and varies throughout the year, based on factors such as season and latitude. The word can be used in a different sense as the time between bedtime and morning. In common communication, the word ''night'' is used as a farewell ("good night", sometimes shortened to "night"), mainly when someone is going to sleep or leaving. Astronomical night is the period between astronomical dusk and astronomical dawn when the Sun is between 18 and 90 degrees below the horizon and does not illuminate the sky. As seen from latitudes between about 48.56° and 65.73° north or south of the Equator, complete darkness does not occur around the summer solstice because, although the Sun sets, it is never more than 18° below the horizon at lower cu ...

''Selenicereus'', sometimes known as moonlight cactus, is a genus of epiphytic, lithophytic, and terrestrial cacti, found in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America. The term night-blooming cereus is also sometimes used, but this is also used for many night-blooming cacti, including ''Epiphyllum'' and ''Peniocereus''.
