CHIAPASIA 
CHIAPASIA NELSONII—This is a monotypic genus with lilac- 
pink flowers appearing on the lateral branches. In a 
recent book on cactus, the flower was erroneously referred 
to as white. The flowers are small though very attractive. 
It blooms very early in the spring. As a graceful basket 
plant it is greatly admired the year round. A red flowered 
form is now being offered by the Ventura Epiphyllum 
Gardens. 
Rooted cuttings 50c. Strong young plants $1.00 
RHIPSALIS 
Those interested in other forms of epiphytic plants should 
certainly acquire a few Rhipsalis. They make graceful, excellent 
baskets. Culture is the same as for Epiphyllums. Flowers are 
very small in most varieties and not highly colored though 
there are rich creams and orange flowered sorts. The flowers 
are small to minute, usually numerous and make a nice showing 
when in full bloom. 
Plant growth may be fine thread-like as in Capilliformis and 
Cassutha or larger pencil-like branches of Neves-Armondii on 
to very broad wavy foliage such as Oblonga and Crispata which 
are similar in growth to epiphyllums. We have about 35 
varieties from which we can supply unrooted cuttings at present.
