RHIPSALIS, Gaertn.— Mistletoe Cacttis. 
Spineless and growing on rocks or on branches of trees, affords oppor- 
tunity for quaint decorative effects, for the thirty-five known species, which 
are natives of South America, are all epiphytic. They give a variety of 
quaint forms, imitative of various families of cacti, and may be used with 
marked effect planted in peat and moss in hanging baskets like orchids. They 
attract even more attention, grown directly on blocks of peat or section of 
tree fern, when they may be suspended from trees in the open during the 
summer and in all sorts of points of vantage in the hot house in winter. 
They find favorite ancorage in the rough trunks of the larger cicas, palms 
and the like. The strange bare and spineless stems, some almost as light as 
twine, others three to seven ribbed, bear small flowers in profusion which are 
followed in most instances with white or red berries, like mistletoe, and never 
fail to attract attention from their unique shapes and modes of growth.
