I have this lovely night blooming cactus but I am not sure if it is strictum or hookerii. They both look the same to me in pictures that I've seen which makes me wonder if it is in fact, the same variety.

Quoted from an Epi site......

"Most people know this species by the name E. strictum (the specific epithet is Latin for "straight") because of the flat, straight stem growth. Technically, however, E. strictum is not the correct name.... it is a synonym of Epiphyllum hookeri, the correct name."
