Description
| The accepted name Rhipsalis dissimilis f. epiphyllanthoides (Backeb.) Barthlott & N.P.Taylor was published in Bradleya 13: 54. 1995. The geographic range is Brazil (Paraná, Vila Velha) found at elevations of 800-1104 meters with an endangered status of endangered. Rhipsalis dissimilis f. epiphyllanthoides is classified in the subgenus Calamorhipsalis. Observed growing as an lithophyte. Overall habit is erect or semi-erect, branches are monomorphic (single stem shape) and acrotonic (stems form from the tips of previous stems). Stems are round and 4 to 5 angled, bristles are absent to sparse to dense. Main stems are determinate (seasonal growth is about the same length), 2cm-20cm x 0.8cm-1.7cm. Flowers are rotate: sub-patent or patent (wheel shaped: partial to wide open), unreported x 2cm-3cm. Petals from 14 to 22, sepals from 1 to 4. Inner petals are white, light-yellow or light-yellow-green, outer petals are yellow, yellow-green or green. Stamen are white or cream, from 67 to 105. Stigma lobes from 4 to 7. Flower ovary is obconical, unreported x unreported. Flowering position on the stem is lateral and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is oblique. Does repeat flowering per areole. A maximum of 1 flowers were reported at a single areole. Areole position in the stems is deeply immersed (flower ovary is partially or fully hidden in the stems during bud development). Trichomes or wool is dense at the areoles after flowering. Unripe fruit color is unreported. Ripe fruit is subglobose; white, pink or magenta, unreported x 0.9cm-1cm. Other notable features: According to molecular phylogenetic testing1 R. dissimilis f. epiphyllanthoides is more closely related to R. tucumanensis than the more closely related group of R. dissimilis f. dissimilis, R. floccosa, and R. trigonoides. The current taxonomy for this species is likely to change to more closely align it's relationship to R. tucumanensis than the R. dissimilis f. dissimilis, R. floccosa, and R. trigonoides group. 1Phylogeny and evolution of the epiphytic Rhipsalideae (Cactaceae), Nadja Korotkova, Ph.D. Thesis, 2012 Taxonomic treatment and description were derived from:
