Epiphyllum
(pronounced /ˌɛpɨˈfɪləm/; "upon the leaf" in Greek) is a genus of 19 species of epiphytic plants in the cactus family (Cactaceae), native to Central America. Common names for these species include orchid cacti and leaf cacti, though the latter also refers to the genus Pereskia.
The stems are broad and flat, 1-5 cm broad, 3-5 mm thick, usually with lobed edges. The flowers are large, 8-16 cm diameter, white to red, with numerous petals.
The fruit is edible, very similar to the pitaya fruit from the closely related genus Hylocereus, though not so large, being only 3-4 cm long.
Fruit of Epiphyllum anguliger
Epiphyllums are popular house plants, with numerous hybrids and cultivars. The broad-leaved epiphyllum (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) is particularly well-known. It bears large, strongly fragrant flowers, that bloom for a single night only.
The genus has 2 synonyms: Phyllocactus and Phyllocereus
Epiphyllum species are added to some versions of the hallucinogenic drink Ayahuasca.

Easy choice to me for portraying a name, with this plant in flower on my balcony
for "Smile on Saturday" ;-)
ROSEMARY
This name has a lovely meaning:
From the Latin ros marinus, meaning "dew of the sea".
