Name

Rhipsalideae DC. (1828)

Type genus: Rhipsalis Gaertn. nom. cons.

Synonyms

Homotypic
- Rhipsalidinae Britton & Rose, Cact. 4: 208. 1923.

Heterotypic
- Hylorhipsalidinae Doweld in Sukkulenty 4(1-2): 37. 2001.
  - Type genus: Hylorhipsalis Doweld
- Rhipsalidopsidinae Doweld, Sukkulenty 4(1-2): 31. 2001.
  - Type genus: Rhipsalidopsis Britton & Rose
- Schlumbergerinae Volgin, Feddes Repert. 97: 563. 1986.
  - Type genus: Schlumbergera Lem.

Note: Calvente et a. (2011) prefer to subsume Rhipsalidopsis into Schlumbergera, whereas Korotkova (2011) prefers segregation, but evidence for either opinion is weak. WS does not take sides on a taxonomic opinion, therefor Rhipsalidopsis is segregated until stronger evidence is available.
