EPIPHYLLUM

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 926 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
EPIPHYLLUM .This name is now restricted to two or three
dwarf
  branching Brazilian epiphytal
plants
  of extreme beauty, which agree with
Phyllocactus
  in having the branches dilated into the form of fleshy leaves, but differ in having them divided into short truncate
leaf
 -like portions, which are articulated, that is to say, provided with a
joint
  by which they
separate
  spontaneously; the margins are crenate or dentate, and the
flowers
 , which are large and showy,
magenta
  or crimson, appear at the
apex
  of the terminal
joints
 . In E. truncatum the
flowers
  have a very different aspect from that of other Cacti, from the mouth of the tube being oblique and the seg, ments all reflexed at the tip. The short
separate
  pieces of which these
plants
  are made up grow out of each other, so that the branches may be said to resemble leaves joined together endwise.
