description_en: Genus of 4 species of freely branching, epiphytic, perennial cacti, very closely related to Epiphyllum, from forest in S. Mexico and Central America. They have strap-shaped, jointed, spineless stems, often cylindrical at the bases, with notched margins. In late spring and early summer, funnel- to bell- or cup-shaped, diurnal flowers are borne on slender tubes from the marginal areoles. The flowers last for 3~ days and are followed in the species by ovoid red fruits, containing seeds encased in jelly-like pulp. Below 10°C (50°F), grow in a temperate or warm greenhouse, or as houseplants. In warmer climates, grow in a courtyard or in a shady border.
