Epiphyllum chrysocardium
Epiphyllum chrysocardium (syn.: Selenicereus chrysocardium) is an epiphytic cactus native to Mexico,[1] commonly called fern leaf cactus, golden heart epiphyllum, shark tooth cactus and shark fin cactus. It used to be the only species in the genus Chiapasophyllum or one of the species in the genus Selenicereus, but molecular phylogenetic studies show that it belongs to Epiphyllum.[2][3]
