ISI 2026-6. Rhipsalis neves-armandii fa. megalantha (Löfgren) Barthlott & N.P.Taylor.
This form of this Brazilian species is perhaps the most robust Rhipsalis in cultivation. The cylindrical, green stems are typically about 7 mm in diameter but can be as thick as 12 mm! Therefore, they tend to be upright or spreading at first, only arching over and becoming pendent as they elongate to 10 cm or more. The form epithet megalantha is from Greek megalo = large or great, plus antho = flower. This is in reference to the flowers which are among the largest of any Rhipsalis, to 4 cm across. We offer rooted cuttings of HBG 148130, a plant received from Jorge Quiñonez. July 16, 2021. However, the authors of this form suggest that there is only one original clone in cultivation. It is reported from the Ilha de São Sebastião, Mun. Ilhabela, São Paulo, Brazil.
