What's New
2/15/09 The Webmaster cautions that not everything on this Web site is guaranteed to be correct. So many Rhipsalis are misnamed in the trade that we continue to find out we were wrong about something. R. dissimilis and varint marnierianum are good examples. We found out that the former was really the latter and the latter was more likely R. dissimilis ssp.. epipyhllanthoides. We've also learned that Rhipsalis may well have a few crosses that almost defy classification. One example is a plant that looks like R. neves-armondii with a flower (tinted in the red hue) that blooms two months later than R. neves-armondii. Add this form to the know existing yellow- and pink-flowered forms. In his Rhipsalis & Lepismium book, Frank Supplie shows several photos of flowers from plants that are variations of what are thought to be the species type. The entire Britton and Rose can be found as a pdf. A great reproduction! 11/20/08 Moved the site from one Web host to a less expensive one. No other changes since June. Please tell the Webmaster if any files are missing or links do not work. Transferring entire Web sites is tricky. 6/16/08 Updated a lot of pages by adding photos taken this spring. 12/07/07 Added various photos including Rainbow Gardens (Vista, Calif.). R. cereoides. R. sulcata, R. floccosa ssp tucumanensis, R. ewaldiana, R. neves armondii f megalantha, R. neves-armondii, L. houlletiana f. regnellii, R. elliptica, R. mesembryanthemoides, R. pachyptera, R. cuneata (possibly), R. dissimilis f. "marnierianum" 11/1/07 Fixed as many pages as could be found in need of repair. Added numerous large photos. 10/26/07 New York Botanic Garden herbarium list of Rhipsalis 10/19/07 Major updates added photos from Kew and repaired a slew of pages no one ever bothered to report broken links for.
