Tortorelli R. M., Gonzaga D. R., Peixoto A. L., Floristic and taxonomic diversity of Rhipsalis (Cactaceae) in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, Rodriguésia, 2025, 76:e00382025, doi: 10.1590/2175-7860202576058

Fieldwork and herbarium review produced a key and descriptions for 16 Rhipsalis taxa in Minas Gerais. The authors corrected several specimen misidentifications and confirmed regional occurrence of R. neves-armondii. Maps, habitat observations and a protected-area comparison show how accurate identification informs distribution and conservation assessment.
