“A specimen from Costa Rica (C. Horich 4/88, vouchered at BONN) is resolved as sister to the rest of the R. teres-clade. It has to be investigated whether this taxon deserves at least subspecies rank and whether it may represent an alien introduction to the Costa Rican flora (the nearest naturally-occurring populations of R. teres are some 5,000 km distant in SE Brazil).” – Phylogeny and evolution of the epiphytic Rhipsalideae (Cactaceae), Nadja Korotkova, Ph.D. Thesis, 2012

Description
| The accepted name Rhipsalis teres f. teres (Vell.) Steud. was published in Nomencl. Bot., ed. 2, 2(2-5): 449. 1841. 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. teres is classified in the subgenus Rhipsalis. Observed growing as an epiphyte. Overall habit is erect, 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), 100cm x 1cm-1.2cm. Main stems are determinate (seasonal growth is about the same length), 1cm-8cm x 0.3cm-0.5cm. Flowers are rotate: sub-patent, patent or reflexed (wheel shaped: partial to wide open to reflexed), 0.6cm-1cm x 0.8cm-1cm. Petals from 5 to 7, sepals 3. Inner petals are white, cream or light-yellow, outer petals are yellow, pink, brown or red. Stamen are white, from 26 to 32. Stigma lobes from 3 to 4. Flower ovary is subglobose or globose, 0.15cm-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, light-green, pink or magenta, 0.45cm-0.6cm x 0.46cm-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. 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.
