Rhipsalis pilocarpa
Rhipsalis pilocarpa has stems and fruits densely covered by bristes, making this species easily distinguisable from all other Rhipsalis. The flowers are borne lateral or terminal. actinomorphic with numerous perianth segments, stamens and carpels. They are small, usually about 1 cm in diameter, white or whitish in most species. Yellowish flowers occur in R. dissimilis and R. elliptica and R. hoelleri is the only Rhipsalis species with red flowers. The fruits are always berries. More
