Disocactus anguliger (Lem.) M.Á.Cruz & S.Arias, commonly known by the names Fishbone Cactus or Zig Zag Cactus after its characteristic fishbone-shaped, zig-zagging foliage. It was also well known by the name Epiphyllum anguliger, however it was recently reclassified and is now included in the genus Disocactus. It forms long woody stems with succulent, flattened, smooth and green leaves measuring between 3-5cm wide. The leaves are deeply lobed leaves and can reach 20-30cm in length. Lobes are rounded to rectangular and this species produces 6-20cm long, yellow or white, nocturnal and sweetly scented blooms.
Genus name: Greek dis- 'twice' + Greek isos 'equal' + Cactus. Named “in allusion to the distinctive character of the genus”, i.e. the tepals and sepals being equal in number and “similar in form and colour” (Lindley).
