Photograph below of a specimen that matches well to the original description of R. salicornioides var. bambusoides by Dr. Weber in Revue horticole, 1892 and later botanical sketch in Blühende Kakteen – Iconographia Cactacearum, 1907, Tafel 95.
A translated excerpt from Dr. Weber’s description:
“Large specimens, introduced from Brazil to the Jardin-des-Plantes in Paris, offer a very different form. Their stem is very rigid, erect, straight; it rises to nearly 2 meters in height, and forms internodes 3 to 4 centimeters long, so as to absolutely resemble a bamboo stem. Their articles are much more elongated, less attenuated at the base, and the flowers are generally orange-yellow, sometimes almost red.”
Following the original description more specimen found growing upright with less smooth knobby stems were included under R. salicornioides var. bambusoides.
In Archivos do Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro, 1917 we see an illustration of R. bambusoides similar to the HBG 122705 specimen, or what today we would typically consider H. salicornioides f. cylindrica due to large scale commercialization of similar specimen.

Description
| The accepted name Hatiora salicornioides f. cylindrica (Britton & Rose) Süpplie was published in Rhipsalidinae: 65. 1990. The geographic range is Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Minas Gerais) found at elevations of 0-1200 meters with an endangered status of endangered. Hatiora salicornioides f. cylindrica is classified in the subgenus Hatiora. Observed growing as an epiphyte or lithophyte. Overall habit is pendant, semi-erect or erect, branches are monomorphic (single stem shape) and acrotonic (stems form from the tips of previous stems). Stems are round and slightly clavate, bristles are absent to sparse. Main stems are determinate (seasonal growth is about the same length), 3cm-5cm x 0.2cm-0.7cm. Flowers are campanulate or infundibuliform (bell or funnel shaped), unreported x 0.4cm-1.2cm. Petals 18, sepal count is unreported. Inner petals are yellow, orange or red, outer petals are yellow, green, orange or red. Stamen are white, count is unreported. Stigma lobes count is unreported. Flower ovary is obconic, 0.2cm-0.4cm x 0.2cm-0.3cm. Flowering position on the stem is apical and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is parallel. It is unreported whether flowering repeats per areole. A maximum of 1 flowers were reported at a single areole. Areole position in the stems is superficial (flower ovary is visible on the surface of the stems during bud development). Trichomes or wool is sparse at the areoles after flowering. Unripe fruit is yellow, green, red or purple. Ripe fruit is turbinate; red, purple, white or sometimes with; purple spots, unreported x unreported. Other notable features: The distinguishing characteristics between H. salicornioides f. cylindra and H. salicornioides f. salicornoides are minimal, H. salicornioides f. cylindrica was characterized by having more wide spread open flowers and cylindrical stems. There is a considerable level of variability in the stem shapes and lengths, and there appear to be intermediate specimen between the two forms. Some botanical texts note the distinction as H. salicornioides f. salicornioides having only white fruit while H. salicornioides f. cylindrica only has red fruit, unfortunately the many reductions and botanical descriptions over the years are not clear in that distinction. Comments: Taxanomic treatment is debated as to whether or not H. salicornioides f. cylindrica is a distinct species from H. salicornioides f. salicornioides. Nadja Korotkova writes: "Our data indicate that H. cylindrica might either not be a “good” species but a form or variety of H. salicornioides. But it is also possible that what is known as H. salicornioides is more than one species. This is even likely because very distinct races and ecotypes exist in the wild (N. Taylor, pers. obs). Some H. salicornioides forms have been described as separate taxa, but species-limits are hard to define because of intergrading characters and further differences possibly attributable to cultivated plants, so the additional species names are currently treated as synonyms."1 1Phylogeny and evolution of the epiphytic Rhipsalideae (Cactaceae), Nadja Korotkova, Ph.D. Thesis, 2012 Taxonomic treatment and description were derived from:
