Description
| The accepted name Rhipsalis hileiabaiana (N. P. Taylor & Barthlott) Barthlott & N. Korotkova was published in Amer. J. Bot. 98(9). 2011. The geographic range is Brazil (Mata atlântica (Hileia Baiana/mata de brejo), mata de neblina, region of Catolés (Mun. Abaíra), Chapada Diamantina, eastern and central Bahia found at elevations of 800-1800 meters with an endangered status of vulnerable. Rhipsalis hileiabaiana is classified in the subgenus Rhipsalis. Observed growing as an . Overall habit is pendant, branches are dimorphic (more than one stem shape) and acrotonic (stems form from the tips of previous stems). Stems are round, bristles are absent. Basal stems are indeterminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 50cm x 0.3cm-0.5cm. Main stems are determinate (seasonal growth is about the same length), 0.6cm-3cm x 0.2cm-0.5cm. Flowers are rotate: reflexed (wheel shaped: reflexed), 0.5cm-0.8cm x 0.4cm-0.6cm. Petals from 4 to 8, sepal count is unreported. Inner petals are white, light-yellow, light-yellow-green or light-green, outer petals are white, green or brown. Stamen are white, from 20 to 25. Stigma lobes from 2 to 4. Flower ovary is globose or ovoid, 0.25cm-0.4cm x 0.25cm. Flowering position on the stem is lateral to apical and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is perpendicular. Does not repeat flowering per areole. A maximum of 2 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 at the areoles after flowering. Unripe fruit is green or brown. Ripe fruit is globose or ovoid; white, 0.7cm x 0.5cm. Other notable features: Often described as resembling some forms of R. teres but has flowers and fruits similar to R. baccifera. Closely related to1 and commonly confused with forms of R. teres, it can be distinguished by having a flower ovary that is typically longer than the petal parts of the flower during most of the bud of development, flowers are a pale yellow to white as they die, and remain attached to the flower ovary. 1Phylogeny and evolution of the epiphytic Rhipsalideae (Cactaceae), Nadja Korotkova, Ph.D. Thesis, 2012 Taxonomic treatment and description were derived from:
