ID 95497688 © Zhuwz3 | Megapixl.com
Epiphyllum is a genus of 19 species of epiphytic plants in the cactus family, native to Central America. The stems are broad and flat, 1–5 cm broad, 3–5 mm thick, usually with lobed edges. The flowers are large, 8–16 cm diameter, white to red, with numerous petals. The fruit is edible, very similar to the pitaya fruit from the closely related genus Hylocereus, though not so large, being only 3–4 cm long. The broad-leaved epiphyllum is particularly well-known. It bears large, strongly fragrant flowers that bloom for a single night only.Â
