Description
| The accepted name Lepismium warmingianum (K.Schum.) Barthlott was published in Barthlott in Bradleya 5: 99. 1987. The geographic range is Argentina; Brazil; Paraguay found at elevations of 40-700 meters with an endangered status of least concern. Lepismium warmingianum is classified in the subgenus Lepismium. Observed growing as an epiphyte. Overall habit is pendant, branches are dimorphic (more than one stem shape) and mesotonic or acrotonic (stems form from the tips to middle of previous stems). Stems are 2 to 4 angled, margins have low crenations, at times dentate (slightly scalloped, at times serrated like holly), bristles are absent. Basal stems are inderminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 50cm x 1cm. Main stems are indeterminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 5cm-41cm x 0.5cm-2.5cm. Flowers are campanulate or infundibuliform (bell or funnel shaped), 1.5cm-2.7cm x 0.7cm-2.5cm. Petals from 7 to 13, sepals from 7 to 10. Inner petals are white or cream, outer petals are white or green. Stamen are white sometimes with a yellow or reddish base, from 20 to 37. Stigma lobes from 3 to 5. Flower ovary is cylindrical-angled, 0.39cm-0.8cm x 0.27cm-0.56cm. Flowering position on the stem is lateral and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is oblique. 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 absent or sparse at the areoles after flowering. Unripe fruit is green or orange. Ripe fruit is globose or subglobose; pink, purple, black or white, 0.7cm-1.2cm x 0.5cm-1cm. Other notable features: Commonly reported with white fruit in older botanical descriptions, descriptions do not appear to be erroneous in the species being described. They were perhaps erroneous in the fruit color or as Wilhelm Barthlott writes in Notes towards a Monograph of Rhipsalideae (Cactaceae), 1995 it was possibly a rare mutation. Taxonomic treatment and description were derived from:
