Needs major revisions edit

Anderson in The Cactus Family (2001), p. 286 says "One encounters numerous so-called epiphyllum hybrids, which in fact rarely involve species of Epiphyllum as a parent. Rather these magnificent plants [...] are mostly hybrids of related genera such as Disocactus, Pseudorhipsalis and Selenicereus."

The article needs to be revised to reflect this. Unfortunately I don't have time now. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:01, 10 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Done I've now created a separate article Epiphyllum hybrid and revised this one accordingly. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:17, 22 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Epiphyllum hookerii edit

Is this not a species? What is it? FloridaArmy (talk) 12:03, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

It's a species (spelt with one "i"). I've corrected and expanded the article – for example, it's introduced to Florida, as shown by the blue rather than green colour in the USDA PLANTS page, not endemic.
The species list in this article seems to be out-of-date and needs to be corrected. Plants of the World Online accepts 10 species, including Epiphyllum hookeri. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:24, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
I've now updated the species list in the article. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:34, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
