Name

Rhipsalidopsis Britton & Rose, Cactaceae 4: 209. (1923)

Type species: Rhipsalidopsis rosea (Lagerh.) Britton & Rose (1923)

Synonyms

Homotypic
- Hatiora subg. Rhipsalidopsis (Britton & Rose) Barthlott, Bradleya 5: 100. (1987)
- Epiphyllopsis A.Berger, Kakteen: 341. (1929)
  - Epiphyllopsis Backeb. & F.M.Knuth, Kaktus-ABC: 158. 1936 ["1935"], nom. inval.
- Schlumbergera subg. Rhipsalidopsis (Britton & Rose) D.R.Hunt (2012)
  - Type: Schlumbergera rosea (Lagerh.) Calvente & Zappi

Note: Calvente et a. (2011) prefer to subsume into Schlumbergera, whereas Korotkova (2011) prefers segregation, but evidence for either opinion is weak. See the note on Korotkova, N. et al. (2021) and WS does not take sides on a taxonomic opinion, therefor this page should remain.
