	IPM Essen	not a Rhipsalis. Invalid naming of Epiphyllum hookeri ssp. guatemalense 'Curly Locks'. Rhipsalis 'Curly Kai' was presented in January 2008 at the International Plant Fair (IPM) in Essen. In this case, the supplier of the source material was the inspiration behind the naming. 'Kai', which means “chicken” in Cantonese and Thai, is the supplier's nickname. The plant owes its name 'Curly' to the shape of its stems.
