Abstract
Abstract: Five exsiccata relating to three taxa of Costa Rican epiphytic cacti collected by W.C. Wercklé deposited at HMGBH and at NY preserved from the original material sent to Berger at La Mortola are studied, illustrated and compared with the descriptions included in literature. The isotype of Rhipsalis wercklei A.Berger [= Rhipsalis micrantha (Kunth) DC.] discovered at HMGBH is designated here with the determination of the identity of Rhipsalis frondosa Wercklé nom. nud. [= Pseudorhipsalis acuminata Cufod.] and Rhipsalis costaricensis Britton nom. prov. [= Pseudorhipsalis himantoclada (Rol.-Goss.) Britton & Rose].
