Description

The accepted name Rhipsalis lindbergiana K. Schum. was published in Fl. Bras. 4(2): 271-272. 1890.

The geographic range is Brazil (Espírito Santo, Sergipe, Bahia, Pernambuco, Minas Gerais) found at elevations of 0-1000 meters with an endangered status of least concern.

Rhipsalis lindbergiana is classified in the subgenus Goniorhipsalis.

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 to sparse. Main stems are indeterminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 4.8cm-100cm x 0.2cm-1.2cm.

Flowers are rotate: sub-patent, patent or reflexed (wheel shaped: partial to wide open to reflexed), 0.65cm-0.7cm x 0.6cm-1cm. Petals from 5 to 9, sepals from 1 to 3. Inner petals are white, light-green, gold or pink, outer petals are white, green, gold or pink. Stamen are white, from 52 to 59. Stigma lobes from 3 to 4. Flower ovary is subglobose or globose, 0.25cm-0.3cm x 0.15cm-0.2cm.

Flowering position on the stem is lateral and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is oblique. Does 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 sparse at the areoles after flowering.

Unripe fruit is green, cream, pink, brown or red. Ripe fruit is globose; white, pink, magenta or red, 0.2cm-0.5cm x 0.15cm-0.4cm.

Other notable features:
Resembles some subspspecies of R. baccifera, but can be distinguished by having a flower ovary that is typically shorter than the petal parts of the flower during most of the bud of development and longer indeterminate stems. Ripe fruit sometimes with a reddish ring at the top.

Taxonomic treatment and description were derived from:
  • The referenced publications below
    • published material was examined and consolidated
      • to determine minimum and maximum size ranges
      • to determine color variations and shapes
  • In rare cases
    • if minimum and maximum values were unreported, authors examined their own materials
    • if clearly observed colors were unreported, authors expanded the botanical descriptions
