Epiphyllum grandilobum is an epiphytic species of cactus native to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama.[3] This species occurs in elevations of 20 to 1100 m in continuously declining forest habitats, which are threatened by housing and urban areas, tourism and recreational areas, in addition to annual and perennial non-timber crops. The populations are severely fragmented.[1] International trade is restricted to the terms of CITES appendix II, in oder to prevent poaching of wild populations.[4] One source suggests the species is also found in Guatemala.[5] The specific epithet grandilobum, meaning "big-lobed", refers to the unusually large lobes of the phyllocladia.
