Stereograph of a Christmas cactus, California, United States of America
ca. 1860-1880
Potted cactus plant placed on stool with backdrop. The cactus is probably a type of Schlumbergera Buckleyi. It was formerly known as Epiphyllum Buckleyi, which could explain the original title of the negative. NB Schlumbergera are not native to Southern California, so it will have been a houseplant.
