___________________________
Disocactus and Epiphyllum are two genera composed of botanical species.
_____________
The words "Hybrid Epiphyllum" constitute an abuse of language of which one must be aware.
"Epiphyllum" is a genus of botanical epiphytic cacti. "hybrid Epiphyllum" is only consistent for the cross of two or more Epiphyllum. But, it so happens that, in the pedigree of a hybrid Epiphyllum, there are sometimes several genera: Epiphyllum, Disocactus, Selenicereus, Heliocereus, Hylocereus, and sometimes more. It may even be that the pedigree of a hybrid Epiphyllum does not contain any Epiphyllum, which becomes nonsense.
Some authors speak of 'Epicactus' instead of 'hybrid Epiphyllum'. I will continue to use 'hybrid Epiphyllum' for convenience and because the word 'Epicactus' should be precisely defined.
