Rhipsalis schottmuelleri Hortus is given by Schelle (Handb. Kakteenk. 227. 1907) as 

 a synonym of Hariota salicornioides schottmuelleri, an unpublished variety. 



Hariota viUigera (Schumann in Martins, Fl. Bras. 4-: 265. 1890; Rhipsalis salicorni- 

 oides villigera Lofgren, Arch. Jard. Bot. Rio de Janeiro i : 85. 1915) we know from descrip- 

 tion only; it seems to be stouter than salicornioides but may belong here. It was based on 

 Sellow's specimen from Sao Paulo, but its flowers are unknown.
