EPIPHYLLUM. The following are true species some 
of which are one of the parents of the foregoing hy- 
brid Epiphyllums. The following seven species are 
white and night flowering. 
E. anguliger. The stems are regularly notched with 
angular notches and is commonly known as the ‘‘Fish- 
bone Cactus.”’ Often grown for its ornamental stems. 
Flowers yellowish white and small. Very fragrant. 
Specimen plant $5.00, medium size $2.00, rooted cut- 
ting .35

fragrant flowers. Specimen plant $5.00, medium size 
$2.50, rooted cutting .35 
E. guatemalense. A tropical species with broad heavy 
stems. Flowers white. Medium size $2.50, rooted cut- 
ting .75

EPITHELANTHA micromeris. The “Button Cactus” 
is probably the smallest of all cacti. Mature flowering 
size plants seldom grow to more than an inch or two 
across. The tiny pinkish flowers are followed by bril- 
liant red fruits .25, for the Texas collected plants. 
E. micromeris var. greggii. A larger growing variety 
of distinct appearance .35 
E. micromeris var. tuberosus. Produces tuberous roots 
when older .25

E. micromeris var. ungispinus. Another Mexican 
variety .25 
All the above will grow faster and larger if grafted. 
The above three are small seedlings. 
ERIOCEREUS. Formerly classified as Harrisia the red 
fruited species of this genus have been reclassified 
under this name, leaving only the yellow fruited spe- 
cies under the former name. Their stems are of a 
clambering habit and may be trained over arbors or 
the side of a building where they will reward one with 
frequent masses of giant white slightly fragrant flow- 
ers at intervals all through the summer months, fol- 
lowed by bright red showy fruits which are quite at- 
tractive as they remain several weeks before reaching 
maturity. They flower at night and are a few of the 
scores of species of cacti which you may be told are 
“Night Blooming Cereus.” 
E. bonplandi. The fastest growing and most robust of 
all, also the largest flowers. All of the Eriocereus like 
mellow rich soil and plenty of water during the sum- 
mer months if vigorous growth is desired. Unrooted 
cuts .30 
E. guelichii. Also a vigorous grower, but the stems are 
not quite as large as the above. The flowers are tinged 
with pink on the outer petals and are fragrant, and 
are profusely produced. This group is quite hardy in 
regions of light frosts where oranges may be grown .50 
E. martinii. Branches of this one are much shorter and 
of a shrubby habit when grown in the full sun. It is 
the most profuse bloomer of all cacti with us, large 
specimens seldom being without flowers during the 
summer and fall months. This one is most suitable 
for pot culture as the stems are shorter than the others. 
The flowers are white and since it is self fertile the 
bright red fruits always set .20 each for seedlings, 
larger ones .50 
E. pomanensis. A rarer one from Northwestern Ar- 
gentina, the spiny stems of which are quite attractive, 
but is slower to flower than the others .50 
E. pomanensis var. grossei. Small plants .25 
E. regelii. Stems more slender and longer with flowers 
more deeply tinged with pink .75 
E. tortuosus. Has stouter more heavily armed branches, 
with the flowers lightly tinged with pink $1.00
