hatiorahatiora
genusgenusSmall, branching cacti native to Brazilian rainforests that grow as epiphytes on trees or rocks. These unique plants feature cylindrical or flattened stems that cascade downward and produce vibrant blooms during their flowering season.
Etymology
The name 'Hatiora' honors Thomas Hariot, an English astronomer and mathematician, combined with the ending '-ora' which was arbitrarily added by the botanist who named the genus.
Interesting fact!
Unlike desert cacti, these rainforest dwellers have evolved to thrive in humid environments, growing high up in tree canopies where they capture moisture from the air.
