skopjecollection said:None. Hylocereniae (disocactus(former aporocactus), epiphyllum, hylocereus, selenicereus,weberocereus and psedorhipsalis )dont form hybids with other plants..
Epiphyllum and disocactus can mix, and a lot, and they are popular...
Ive heard of hybrids between those 2 and selenicereus, or selenicereus and hylocereus, but could be mix ups at best...


Nonsense, look at the middle right hand photo of a hybrid graft, https://garden.org/pics/2017-1...,

Scion is a hybrid, the result of a cross between what is highly likely to be C. repandus and a member of the Hylocereinae.

The scion has now been de-grafted after the fruit was not up to my standards.

Last season there were fruits set between the C. repandus and the scion and vice versa.

Admittedly the fruit resulting from the C. repandus x scion was smaller than that using other clones, the reverse pollination produced a good size fruit.

The C. repandus is not self fertile.

It will only be a few days before the echinopsis scion flowers, keep an eye on the thread and you can compare the flowers with that of one of it's parent's.

This will be my last post on the topic, more important matters need my time.

Cheers.
