Etymology

Nothogenus for intergeneric hybrids between Epiphyllum and Selenicereus.

The names of nothogenera for bigeneric hybrids are formed by combining the names of the parental genera "into a single word, using the first part or the whole of one, the last part or the whole of the other (but not the whole of both) and, optionally, a connecting vowel" (article H.6.2, International Code of Nomenclature).

According to Urs Eggli (in Edward F. Anderson, Das große Kakteen-Lexikon, 2011: 248) no Epiphyllum × Selenicereus hybrids are known to exist.

Synonym ×Epinicereus.
