Zygocactus truncata, ( botanic species, original material collected near Teresopolis by Beatrix Von Orssich.)

N.B.1 : The Schlumbergera (Zygocactus) which are hybrids of the “exotica” group have ribbed cylindrical stem segments. They are hybrids of Schlumbergera opuntioides (therefore their particular vegetative aspect) with Schlumbergera truncata or Schlumbergera X buckleyi.

N.B.2 : Zygocactus x "Enigma" has a mysterious origin ; every year the blooms have different forms ; always a surprise !

N.B.3 : Zygocactus x "Star Burst" has been previously photographied on my website ; but the name was "Stardust", an incorrect name. This plant is probably an hybrid of a Zygocactus (or Schlumbergera) with a Rhipsalidopsis (or Hatiora)
