Etymology

Latin ĭmĭtāns ‘imitating’. For the “close resemblance in stem character” to Epiphyllum anguligerum (= Disocactus anguliger), Epiphyllum chrysocardium, Epiphyllum darrahii (= Disocactus anguliger) and Cryptocereus anthonyanus. “There seems to be two separate instances of its having actually been mistaken for Epiphyllum anguliger [sic].”
