This is not correct[edit]
Epiphyllum oxypetalum
Epiphyllum oxypetalum, the Dutchman's pipe cactus, princess of the night or queen of the night.
The correct Queen of the Night/Night Queen is Selenicereus grandiflorus. Oxypetalum is refered to as The Princess of the Night Hoyacactus (talk) 08:37, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Your comment is inaccurate and could be easily clarified by a Google search. Common names are often imprecise and the same common name can refer to multiple species; the disambiguation page for Queen of the Night refers to four different species and that’s without mentioning the famous tulip cultivar.

Distribution[edit]
According to the citation (and many other sources), the native distribution is: "Northern America SOUTHERN MEXICO: Mexico [Chiapas, Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave] Southern America
CENTRAL AMERICA: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador" This is not the same as "extensive areas of South America." Grouchymarx (talk) 05:47, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
