Needs major revisions
[edit]Anderson in The Cactus Family (2001), p. 286 says "One encounters numerous so-called epiphyllum hybrids, which in fact rarely involve species of Epiphyllum as a parent. Rather these magnificent plants [...] are mostly hybrids of related genera such as Disocactus, Pseudorhipsalis and Selenicereus."
The article needs to be revised to reflect this. Unfortunately I don't have time now. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:01, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Done I've now created a separate article Epiphyllum hybrid and revised this one accordingly. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:17, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Is this not a species? What is it? FloridaArmy (talk) 12:03, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
- It's a species (spelt with one "i"). I've corrected and expanded the article – for example, it's introduced to Florida, as shown by the blue rather than green colour in the USDA PLANTS page, not endemic.
- The species list in this article seems to be out-of-date and needs to be corrected. Plants of the World Online accepts 10 species, including Epiphyllum hookeri. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:24, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- I've now updated the species list in the article. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:34, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
