Great new additions to your impressive collection and interesting information-many thanks for sharing. I thought I had occidentalis but unsure now after seeing your new one ahhaha
Where can I get pseudorhipsalis in Europe? It's one of my very favorite genus but I have only one P. amazonica. I'm in love with this genus and would like to have all its species.
In Europe I’m not sure, I would try the Facebook groups and do an ISO for them. They are really uncommon to rare and are mainly in private collections. Usually they will be obtainable via a trade more so than to purchase.
05:10 I may have missed this, but what is that cutting supposed to be? 08:00 Interesting if that is a variety of D. macranthus, it is a broader phylloclade than I have ever seen in my D macranthus plants. Let us know when it flowers! The thing I find most striking about this species is the very strong, sweet scent of the flowers. You can tell when it is in bloom as soon as you enter the shadehouse, is this the case with your plants? 22:56 On the issue of pronunciation, it's TH-cam, we all know what you mean, so it doesn't really matter. If you were giving a presentation to an audience of Rhipsalis specialists, maybe that would be different. There are no reference points, because we don't often talk face to face with anybody about these plants, so pronunciation is not generally tested. In the case of R. baccifera that you mention, the binomial system is Latin based originally, and there is no soft "C" in Latin, so Linnaeus would probably say "bak -IF- err-a. However, there is an English word "bacciferous", derived from the Latin, meaning "bearing berries", and that is pronounced "bax-SIF-er-owse", as in 'occidentalis', so you see the difficulty. (Sadly, whichever you choose, bassif-ERRA would be wrong☹). I'm sure most of your pronunciations are correct, I'd perhaps suggest that those below are more likely to be accurate, with emphasis on the middle syllable, but I could be wrong - dissimilis - dis-SIM-ilis, pachyptera - pak-IP-ter-a olivifera - oliv-IF-er-a and in a previous video, I noticed that you used "determinant" instead of "determinate". "Determinant" has a different meaning entirely. (again, it's only TH-cam 🙂)
Pseudorhipsalis alata. Yes, Disocactus macranthus is the most fragrant of all the Disocactus species. Smells kind of like a toned down Sambac Jasmine to me. It’s not recognized as a variety. In some circles I think it’s recognized as a subspecies but in most modern taxonomy it is regarded as a synonym. It’s possible there is some later article I have’nt read about it that places it as a subspecies. Here is a picture of it in full flower: facebook.com/share/p/fNn2p1v8oua51eBB/? Thanks for the brief lesson, it’s useful. It may have sounded like indeterminant but I was definitely saying indeterminate, I’m aware it is the correct term.
i love your channel!
Thank you! 💚🌱

Lots of big scientific words and then nubbins nubbins nubbins😂🎉
🤣!
