"This name cannot be typified and in herbaria, the literature and living collections it has been, and continues to be used in a multitude of senses, including R. crispata, R. occidentalis, R. pachyptera, R. elliptica, and R. oblonga. Its use should be abandoned and ideally it should be formally rejected under the provisions of the International Code." (Barthlott & Taylor (Bradleya 13) : quote from www.rhipsalis.com)
