Selenicereus anthonyanus is a cactus species native to southern Mexico. It is grown as an ornamental due to its nocturnal flowers and unusual, leaf-like stems. It is also known as fishbone cactus, rickrack cactus, zig-zag cactus and St. Anthony's rickrack, and is sometimes referred to as an orchid cactus. The stems of the plant are ascending or climbing, and its branches are in clusters at intervals along the stem. Its fragrant flowers are 10 to 12 centimeters long and 15 to 17 centimeters in diameter. The fruits are round or oval and up to 6 cm. It is endemic to moist lowland rainforest of southern Mexico, in the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Tabasco and Veracruz. It is easily cultivated and fast growing, and needs a compost containing plenty of humus and sufficient moisture in summer. It can be grown in semi–shade or full sun, and flowers in late spring or early summer. There are several hybrids of this species, such as 'Corinna Paetz', 'Stauch's Mandarin', 'Noris', 'Wormatia', and 'Müllers Mandarin
