Description
| The accepted name Rhipsalis teres f. heteroclada (Britton & Rose) Barthlott & N. P. Taylor was published in Bradleya 13: 65. 1995. The geographic range is Brazil (Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina, Espírito Santo) found at elevations of 1000 meters with an endangered status of least concern. Rhipsalis teres f. heteroclada is classified in the subgenus Rhipsalis. 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 round and slightly clavate, bristles are absent. Basal stems are indeterminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 15cm-50cm x 0.4cm-0.8cm. Main stems are determinate (seasonal growth is about the same length), 2.5cm-4cm x 0.3cm-2cm. Flowers are rotate: patent or reflexed (wheel shaped: wide open to reflexed), 0.6cm-1cm x 0.8cm-1.2cm. Petals from 5 to 10, sepals from 2 to 3. Inner petals are white, cream or light-green, outer petals are green, yellow, pink, brown or red. Stamen are white, from 20 to 60. Stigma lobes from 3 to 5. Flower ovary is subglobose or globose, 0.16cm-0.3cm x 0.2cm-0.3cm. Flowering position on the stem is lateral to apical and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is perpendicular. 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, cream, pink, brown or red. Ripe fruit is globose or subglobose; white, pink or magenta, 0.5cm x 0.5cm-0.8cm. Other notable features: Closely related to1 and commonly confused with subspecies of R. baccifera, all R. teres forms can be distinguished by having a flower ovary that is typically of equal length or shorter than the petal parts of the flower during most of the bud of development, flowers are a bright yellow as they die, and do not remain attached to the flower ovary. The distinction between R. teres f. heteroclada and R. teres f. teres was historically unclear. We chose to respect the classification and description provided in The New Cactus Lexicon, by David hunt, 2008 and evidence of materials samples by Nadja Korotkova1. R. teres f. heteroclada has larger predominantly yellow flowers and the the overall morphology is stouter. Comments: Forms are often recognized at the extreme morphological characterization found in nature, however this species presents a high level of plasticity and varying intermediate morphologies are reported between the various forms.
