Hi Ian
Keng Wah is a name sometimes applied to Epiphyllum Oxypetalum.
Description:Stems long, cyclindrical flattening at the apex into a typical wide phylloclad 4-9 cms. wide.tends to branch and is sometimes used as a hedge in Mexico.
Flower: Wide cup,White with creamy-beige sepals. Exterior of tube and rear of sepals can be a bright red.Nocturnal.
ca. 27-34 cms long x ca20 cms. wide. The long tube tends to curve upwards like a "Dutchman's Pipe"
The name "Queen of the Night" and its variants are commonly applied to many nocturnal cacti of several genera and as such are misleading.
Cheers Doug
