Disocactus × mallisonii, also known as ×Aporoheliocereus mallisonii, is a cactus with slender, green, pendent stems with 6 to 8 ribs lined with clusters of short, yellowish-brown spines. The stems can grow up to 3 feet (90 cm) long and 0.4 inches (1 cm) in diameter. They turn brownish when exposed to intense sunlight.

The flowers are bright pink or red, with white stamens, and appear in spring, open during the day, and can last for several days. They are funnel-shaped, up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. The fruits are oval, spiny berries.

Origin

This cactus is a hybrid that results from a cross between Disocactus flagelliformis and Disocactus specious. It was first described and published by Christoph Friedrich Otto and Albert Gottfried Dietrich as Cereus × mallisonii but was revised and reclassified by Wilhelm A. Barthlott in 1991.
