Plants pendulous, the main stem terete below, often 3-winged above; terminal branches in clusters, oblong, flat, obtuse, narrowed at base, shining green or tinged with purple, 4 to 6 cm. long; flowers usually solitary but sometimes 2 or 3 at an areole, white, drying pale yellow; sepals ovate- obtuse, reflexed; petals white, widely spreading, numerous: stigma-lobes white; fruit globose, white. Type locality: Ilha Grande, near the city of Rio de Janeiro. Distribution: State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Illustration: Arch. Jard. Bot. Rio de Janeiro 2: pi. 9. Plate xxxvir, figure 5, shows a fruiting branch of the type collection obtained by Dr. Rose on Ilha Grande near Rio de Janeiro in 1915 (No. 20401). Figure 231 is from a photo- graph of Miss Eaton's painting of a plant given to Dr. Shafer by Dr. Lofgren in 1917 at Rio de Janeiro which flowered in the New York Botanical Garden in May 1922. 54.

Hariola crispata Lemaire, Cact. Gen. Nov. Sp. 75. 1839. Rhipsalis rhombea crispata Schumann, Gesamtb. Kakteen 638. Fro. 232.—Rhipsalis crispata.
