The geographic range is Brazil (Três Picos State Park in the city of Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro State, located in the Serra dos Órgãos) found at elevations of 1200-1700 meters with an endangered status of vulnerable. Rhipsalis aurea is classified in the subgenus Erythrorhipsalis. Observed growing as an epiphyte or lithophyte. Overall habit is pendant or semi-erect, branches are dimorphic (more than one stem shape) and acrotonic or mesotonic (stems form from the tips to middle of previous stems). Stems are round, bristles are absent to sparse. Basal stems are indeterminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 15cm-45cm x 0.4cm-0.6cm. Main stems are determinate (seasonal growth is about the same length), 2cm-9cm x 0.12cm-0.3cm. Flowers are campanulate (bell shaped), 1.6cm-1.7cm x 1.5cm-2cm. Petals from 9 to 13, sepals from 3 to 5. Inner petals are yellow, outer petals are yellow. Stamen are yellow, from 40 to 60. Stigma lobes from 4 to 6. Flower ovary is obconical, 0.2cm-0.3cm x 0.1cm-0.4cm. Flowering position on the stem is lateral, subapical to apical and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is parallel. Does not repeat flowering per areole. A maximum of 1 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. Ripe fruit is globose or subglobose; green, 0.6cm-0.77cm x 0.6cm-0.8cm.
