There’s a bunch of species of cactus (family Cactaceae) but only Rhipsalis baccifera is found in the old world. Even weirder is that it’s not just found in the Americas and sub-Saharan Africa but also Sri Lanka for some reason.

I’m gonna guess that whatever plant they are talking about isn’t supposed to be in Sri Lanka. But it is.
