Pseudorhipsalis Ramulosa Kz2
''Pseudorhipsalis'' is genus of cacti. This genus is often included in ''Disocactus''. It is epiphytic, many branched, and elongated with flattened, serrated cladodes. In its early life, it stands erect, but soon becomes prostrate. It produces numerous flowers. Description This genus is similar to ''Rhipsalis'' in that epiphytic species with small creamy white flowers are found. However, the flowers are different in that the ovaries and parts of the perianth are connected and the fruits have scales. Also, this genus is limited to Central America, with the exception of one species that ranges in South America. Areoles are small along the stem margin, usually at a higher level. From these areoles, new stems or flowers form. The flowers are small, short tubes or glasses - creamy white. Fruits are small berries that can be white or reddish in color. This genus is very scarce in cultivation. Species A 2017 study of the tribe Hylocereeae accepted the following species: One species ...

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 ...

Kimnachia Ramulosa
''Kimnachia'' is a monotypic genus of cacti. Its only species is ''Kimnachia ramulosa'', synonym ''Pseudorhipsalis ramulosa'', which is native from southern Mexico to northern South America and also found in Jamaica. Description ''Kimnachia ramulosa'' is a shrubby plant, branching freely from the base. The stems are rounded basally, with branches that become flattened towards their tips. The branches are long and up to wide. They are reddish at first, later becoming green. The flowers are pinkish or greenish cream in colour, long and across. They are usually borne singly and hang downwards. The small whitish fruits are up to long. Taxonomy The species was first described by Joseph zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck in 1834, as ''Cereus ramulosus''. It was transferred to the genus '' Pseudorhipsalis'' in 1991. In 1993, Kimnach sank ''Pseudorhipsalis'' into ''Disocactus'' as section ''Pseudorhipsalis'', so ''Ps. ramulosa'' became ''Disocactus ramulosus''. A molecular phylog ...

Areole
In botany, areoles are small light- to dark-colored bumps on cacti out of which grow clusters of spines. Areoles are important diagnostic features of cacti, and identify them as a family distinct from other succulent plants. Gordon Rowley - What is an Areole The spines are not easily detachable, but on certain cacti, members of the subfamily Opuntioideae, smaller, detachable bristles, glochids, also grow out of the areoles and afford additional protection. Areoles represent highly specialized branches on cacti. Apparently, they evolved as abortive branch buds while their spines evolved as vestigial leaves. In branched cacti, such as Opuntioidiae and the saguaro, new branches grow from areoles, because that is where the buds are. The development of the areole seems to have been an important element in the adaptation of cacti to niches in desert ecology. Some of the Opuntioideae have spines, as well as glochids, on their areoles; some have only glochids. Structurally, the gloc ...

Nathaniel Lord Britton
Nathaniel Lord Britton (January 15, 1859 – June 25, 1934) was an American botanist and taxonomist who co-founded the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, New York (state), New York. Early life Britton was born in New Dorp, Staten Island, New Dorp in Staten Island, New York to Jasper Alexander Hamilton Britton and Harriet Lord Turner. His parents wanted him to study religion, but he was attracted to nature study at an early age. He was a graduate of the School of Engineering and Applied Science (Columbia University), Columbia University School of Mines and afterwards taught geology and botany at Columbia University. He joined the Torrey Botanical Society, Torrey Botanical Club soon after graduation and was a member his entire life. He married Elizabeth Gertrude Britton, Elizabeth Gertrude Knight, a Bryophyte, bryologist, on August 27, 1885. They had met when she joined the club and were lifelong collaborators in botanical research. New York Botanical Garden During their h ...

Rhipsalis
''Rhipsalis'' is a genus of epiphytic flowering plants in the cactus family, typically known as mistletoe cacti. They are found in parts of Central America, the Caribbean and northern regions of South America. They also inhabit isolated locations in Africa and Asia, and are the only cactus group naturally occurring in the Old World. This is the largest and most widely distributed genus of epiphytic cacti (those which live on other plants without damaging them). The scientific name ''Rhipsalis'' derives from the Ancient Greek term for wickerwork, referring to the plants' morphology. History The genus was described by Joseph Gaertner in 1788. But when he described the plant, he had in fact not realised it was a cactus. Instead, he assumed he had found a new species of ''Cassytha'',The original spelling in publication is ''cassutha'', but this is presumably a typographical error. a parasitic laurel from a completely different plant family.
