cv. ROYAL TOLKIEN (?)

This Rhipsalis was sold to me under the name "Rhipsalis ROYAL TOLKIEN".
It is a Rhipsalis pachyptera whose segments blush very easily in the sun
and has large flowers.
After some research, it turns out that the name ROYAL TOLKIEN
seems to be a commercial 'invention'.
This name is not found on any of my taxonomy books.
It obviously reminds us of the famous writer, author of "Lord of the Rings".
