Epiphyllum Phyllanthus In Blüte
''Epiphyllum'' (; "upon the leaf" in Greek) is a genus of epiphytic plants in the cactus family (Cactaceae), native to Central America and South America. Common names for these species include climbing cacti, orchid cacti and leaf cacti, though the latter also refers to the genus '' Pereskia''. Description The stems are broad and flat, 1–5 cm broad, 3–5 mm thick, usually with lobed edges. The flowers themselves are large, with diameters ranging from 8 to 16 cm, white through red, with numerous petals. These flowers have notably short, nocturnal antheses, blooming only at night, and wilting at dawn. The fruit is edible, very similar to the pitaya fruit from the closely related genus '' Hylocereus'', though not so large, being only 3–4 cm long. The broad-leaved epiphyllum (''Epiphyllum oxypetalum'') is particularly well known species that bears large, strongly fragrant flowers.

Epiphyllum Oxypetalum
''Epiphyllum oxypetalum'', the Dutchman's pipe cactus, princess of the night or queen of the night, is a species of cactus with a native range from Mexico to Nicaragua. It blooms nocturnally, and its flowers wilt before dawn. Though it is sometimes referred to as a night-blooming cereus, it is not closely related to any of the species in the tribe Cereeae, that are more commonly known as night-blooming cereus. All ''Cereus'' species bloom at night and are terrestrial plants; ''Epiphyllum'' species are usually epiphytic. Description The stems are erect, ascending, scandent, or sprawling and profusely branched. The primary stems are terete, up to long, flattened laterally, and ligneous at their bases. The secondary stems are flat, elliptic-acuminate, up to . The stem margins are shallowly through deeply crenate and undulate. Stems appear to be waxy therefore cutin may be present. Cutin reduces water loss from stems. A gel-like substance oozes out of stem cuts. Stems contain muc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hylocereus
''Hylocereus'' is a former genus of epiphytic cacti, often referred to as night-blooming cactus (though the term is also used for many other cacti). Several species previously placed in the genus have large edible fruits, which are known as pitayas, pitahayas or dragonfruits. In 2017, a molecular phylogenetic study confirmed an earlier finding that the genus ''Hylocereus'' was nested within ''Selenicereus'', so all the species of ''Hylocereus'' were transferred to '' Selenicereus''. Description The species previously placed in the genus ''Hylocereus'' grow hanging, climbing or epiphytic. They are freely branched, shrubby plants that form aerial roots and become very large with a height of 10 m or more. The green, often glaucous shoots are usually terete or triangular. Taxonomy In the 1994 classification of the International Cactaceae Systematics Group of the International Organization for Succulent Plant Study, the genus ''Hylocereus'' was one of the six genera of the tribe ...

Night Queen Flower1
Night, or nighttime, is the period of darkness when the Sun is below the horizon. Sunlight illuminates one side of the Earth, leaving the other in darkness. The opposite of nighttime is daytime. Earth's rotation causes the appearance of sunrise and sunset. Moonlight, airglow, starlight, and light pollution dimly illuminate night. The duration of day, night, and twilight varies depending on the time of year and the latitude. Night on other celestial bodies is affected by their rotation and orbital periods. The planets Mercury and Venus have much longer nights than Earth. On Venus, night lasts about 58 Earth days. The Moon's rotation is tidally locked, rotating so that one of the sides of the Moon always faces Earth. Nightfall across portions of the near side of the Moon results in lunar phases visible from Earth. Organisms respond to the changes brought by nightfall: darkness, increased humidity, and lower temperatures. Their responses include direct reactions and adjustme ...

Epiphyllum Grandilobum
''Epiphyllum grandilobum'' is an epiphytic species of cactus native to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama. This species occurs in elevations of 20 to 1100 m in continuously declining forest habitats, which are threatened by housing and urban areas, tourism and recreational areas, in addition to annual and perennial non-timber crops. The populations are severely fragmented.

Selenicereus Chrysocardium Flowers
''Selenicereus'', sometimes known as moonlight cactus, is a genus of epiphytic, lithophytic, and terrestrial cacti, found in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America. The term night-blooming cereus is also sometimes used, but this is also used for many night-blooming cacti, including ''Epiphyllum'' and ''Peniocereus''. In 2017, the genus ''Hylocereus'' was brought into synonymy with ''Selenicereus''. A number of species of ''Selenicereus'' produce fruit that is eaten. The fruit, known as ''pitaya'' or ''pitahaya'' in Spanish or as dragon fruit, may be collected from the wild or the plants may be cultivated. Description Clambering plants with flat to angled stems, producing aerial roots. Areoles may be with or without spines. Flowers are large and nocturnal, pollinated by moths or rarely bats. The receptacle bears small bracts, hairs and usually spines. Fruits bear numerous spines. Flowers are generally produced in abundance with mature plants and are t ...
