I purchased cuttings from Bob Smoley. According to www.rhipsalis.com it is now considered Lepismium lumbricoides forma aculeatum. I will wait for more growth and flowers to solidify that id but on the serface it looks more like an unusually spiney Lepismium lumbricoides forma lumbricoides
Rhipsalis aff floccosa

No Longer in collection


I have no idea where I got this plant. What I do know is that what I have now was left after the main plant was destroyed in 2005. I thought it was baccifera but now I'm not so sure. More study needed.
It has been suggested that this may be R floccosa subsp. tucumanensis but it doesn't exactly match that either. It is definitely not one of the baccifers ssp so I have changed the name. It also matches some of the dissimilis sub species except for the branches. R dissimilis always seems to have some angles on the branches and are never just smooth and round.
Rhipsalis aff lindbergiana

Synonym Rhipsalis densiareolata. I bought this plant from Tropiflora a few years ago as R densiareolata. Very nice pendent growth. Flowers are yellow/white. Flowered in .

Rhipsalis campos-portoana

No Longer in collection


I have been after this one for a while. I have it marked as campos-portoana but time will tell whether that is indeed what it is.
Rhipsalis campos-portoana

No Longer in collection


I bought this plant at Lowes. It is an Exotic Angel plant and of course no tag. While it looks similar to teres subsp heteroclada I do not believe that is the case. The flowers are very unusual and the petals are not re-curved at all so far. The stems on the plant are about 2mm but the flowers are pretty large at 2 cm from the base to the tip. I'm pretty sure that this is Rhipsalis campos-portoana or Rhipsalis burchellii but I will wait for the berry which should be orange for campos-portoana or red for burchellii.
R campos-portoana is not common in cultivation while R burchellii is in Florida where the plant originated.
Definitely R campos portoana after reviewing the flower which never opens widely and has a reddish center which R burchellii does not. I have another plant that came from EA that looks like the one I lost. I suspect t's the same.
Rhipsalis campos-portoana

Noticed an old fruit that is small and pale orange/yellow but it does appear at the tip of a stem segment that has since grown a new segment.
Rhipsalis capilliformis

I bought this at Lowes and it's an EA plant that was labeled Rhipsalis capilliformis. Based on this name it should be R baccifera subsp capilliformis but I used to have another plant I bought at Lowes from EA and it turned out to be R campos-portoana after a flowers was observed. So I will leave this with how EA labeled it until I see flowers. I only have a tiny piece struggling to hold on
