🌵 Type | Pseudorhipsalis alata |
Greek pseudo- ‘false, looking like’ + Rhipsalis. “These plants in their habit and branches resemble certain species of Rhipsalis, especially R. ramulosa and its relatives, but differ from all the species of Rhipsalis in having united perianth-segments and more scaly ovary and fruit.”
This name has the same meaning as Rhipsalidopsis, a genus published by Britton and Rose in the same publication.
