Description
| The accepted name Rhipsalis hoelleri Barthlott & N. P. Taylor was published in Bradleya 13: 50. 1995. The geographic range is Brazil (Espírito Santo) found at elevations of unreported meters with an endangered status of data deficient. Rhipsalis hoelleri is classified in the subgenus Calamorhipsalis. Observed growing as an epiphyte or lithophyte. Overall habit is pendant, branches are monomorphic (single stem shape) and acrotonic or subacrotonic (stems form from the tips and just below tips of previous stems). Stems are round, bristles are absent. Main stems are indeterminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 8cm-87cm x 0.3cm-0.5cm. Flowers are rotate: sub-patent, patent or reflexed (wheel shaped: partial to wide open to reflexed), unreported x 0.85cm-1.5cm. Petals from 5 to 9, sepals from 1 to 4. Inner petals are magenta or red, outer petals are magenta or red. Stamen are white, from 40 to 50. Stigma lobes from 3 to 4. Flower ovary is subglobose, 0.1cm x 0.1cm. Flowering position on the stem is lateral and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is oblique. Does not repeat flowering per areole. A maximum of 1 flowers were reported at a single areole. Areole position in the stems is deeply immersed (flower ovary is partially or fully hidden in the stems during bud development). Trichomes or wool is sparse at the areoles after flowering. Unripe fruit is pink, brown or red. Ripe fruit is subglobose; pink, orange-red or red, 0.3cm-0.6cm x 0.4cm-0.9cm. Other notable features: R. hoelleri is easily identified as it is the only Rhipsalis species with vibrant magenta to red flowers. Stems grow quite long and tend be glaucous (have a dull powdery green or green-blue appearance). Taxonomic treatment and description were derived from:
