Accession Data:
Rhipsalis baccifera ssp. horrida (Baker) Barthlott
subg. Rhipsalis
- Common Name: Mouse Tail Cactus
- Family: Cactaceae Juss.
- Country of Origin: Madagascar (endemic)
- Habitat: ssp. horrida is limited to rock outcrops exposed to full sun
- Description: R. baccifera has a range that includes much of the new world tropics, as well as the old world tropics from Africa east to Sri Lanka. It is the only cactus species found naturally outside of the Americas. Subspecies horrida is a polyploid form endemic to Madagascar.
There is evidence that Rhipsalis was not introduced into the palaeotropics by man, and that the palaeotropical evolutionary centre of the genus is Madagascar (Barthlott,1983)
It is worth mentioning that, in contrast to the diploid neotropical Rhipsalis species, the palaeotropical representatives of the genus are tetra- to octoploid.(Barthlott,1983)
