It is epiphytic, many branched, and elongated with flattened, serrated cladodes.

[1] This genus is similar to Rhipsalis in that epiphytic species with small creamy white flowers are found.

However, the flowers are different in that the ovaries and parts of the perianth are connected and the fruits have scales.

Areoles are small along the stem margin, usually at a higher level.

The flowers are small, short tubes or glasses - creamy white.
