EMPRESS 
This lovely plant is commonly known as Empress or 
Deutsche Kaiserin. It is probably the true wild 
Nopalxochia phyllanthoides though the best types are 
quite likely to be hybrids. Until the wild plants are 
identified one can only add to 85c

NOPALXOCHIA 
A small Mexican genus near Epiphyllum but 
differing in having a quite short tube. In 
Epiphylium the tube is slender and longer than 
the limb. Some botanists have included E. 
Ackermannii, recently re-d’scovered, to the 
genus. Britton and Rose’s description of their 
genus would allow the inclusion of this plant 
for they definitely state “inner (perianth) 
spreading or connivent.’”’ The cultivated E. 
Ackermannii are of hybrid origin probably 
with Heliocereus but not H. speciosus. Strange- 
ly these two beautiful plants have evaded the 
collector for 125 years though cultivated plants 
are found in the localities where they probably 
are wild. It is possible the newly refound N. 
Ackermannii may produce a new race of small 
flowered Orchid Cacti.
