Description
| The accepted name Rhipsalis agudoensis N. P. Taylor was published in Cactaceae Syst. Init. 16: 12. 2003. The geographic range is South-eastern Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) found at elevations of 40-800 meters with an endangered status of endangered (needs reassesment). Rhipsalis agudoensis is classified in the subgenus Phyllarthrorhipsalis. Observed growing as an epiphyte or lithophyte. Overall habit is pendant or semi-erect, branches are dimorphic (more than one stem shape) and acrotonic (stems form from the tips of previous stems). Stems are 2 to 4 angled, margins have low to deep crenations (slightly to deeply scalloped), bristles are absent. Basal stems are indeterminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 8cm-40cm x unreported. Main stems are determinate (seasonal growth is about the same length), 11cm-25cm x 2cm-3.7cm. Flowers are rotate: sub-patent or patent (wheel shaped: partial to wide open), 1cm x 0.9cm-2.5cm. Petals from 8 to 11, sepal count is unreported. Inner petals are white, cream or yellow, outer petals are white, cream, yellow, green, pink, brown or red. Stamen are white, from 59 to 88. Stigma lobes from 4 to 8. Flower ovary is obconical, 0.3cm-0.4cm x 0.3cm. Flowering position on the stem is lateral and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is perpendicular. Does repeat flowering per areole. A maximum of 6 flowers were reported at a single areole. Areole position in the stems is superficial (flower ovary is visible on the surface of the stems during bud development). Trichomes or wool is absent at the areoles after flowering. Unripe fruit is green, pink or red. Ripe fruit is globose or subglobose; white, pink or magenta, 0.4cm-0.5cm x 0.5cm-0.55cm.
