Schlumbergera (named for Friedrich Schlumberger). Cactaceae. Similar to Zygocactus in habit, but with regular fls. and angled fr. Schumann referred some of the species to Phyllocactus (Epiphyllum), but such a reference can hardly be entertained. The genus seems to be confined to Brazil, but little is known about it in a wild condition. Its treatment should be the same as zygocactus (the old Epiphyllum). Two well-known species are in cult.
