Amarocoya

Partially documented

Amarocoya is a line raised from a 2023 Chavin Herbalists seed release, notable for strong notches above the and for that shows up in a good share of the seedlings. Because it comes from seed rather than from one , two plants under this name are not guaranteed to match. Basic measurements such as count and spine length have never been written down.Reported, but not confirmed.

  • deep notches
  • variegated skin
  • slow as a yearling

PachanoiNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.

Of the 10 things this page says, 2 name who reports them and 8 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.

Family line

what the record holds

No source in this library records a confirmed cross for Amarocoya, and no other entry here names it as a parent. What the record does hold is below.

That is the record, not an oversight: of the 749 names in this library, 693 have no recorded relation either. Most named clones were selected, cut and passed along without anyone writing down what they came out of. A parent goes in here when a source states it and never because a name looks like one — a wrong pedigree would travel further than a blank one, because pedigrees get copied.

If you know where it came from, tell us — a person reads everything before it appears.

Recorded as a seed-grown line from a single 2023 seed release rather than one mother plant, so plants sold under the name need not be identical.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

The longer version

Several growers raised that seed batch and ended up with more than one variegated individual.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

One contributor was given a piece and did not spot the variegation at first, which the wiki page uses to show how subtle it can be.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Character

A bar is drawn only where one of the lines below states it — never from the species, never from a photograph.

  • slow and steady to fast grower: this one leans towards slow and steady, read from the growth line below.

Skin
Variegation turns up often, sometimes faint enough to go unnoticed on young plants.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Ribs
The clearest feature growers report is a pronounced notch above each areole.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Pronounced notching above the areole is a well-known and common feature in this genus, so the description is plausible.
Growth habit
are reported to move more slowly than other pachanoi seedlings of the same age and to pick up after being potted on.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Weak seedlings that speed up once potted on is ordinary behaviour when roots get fresh room.
Notes
Rib count, spine length and spine colour are all absent from the record.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

What the sources say

The wiki page is bot-compiled and not editor-verified, and it hedges on whether Amarocoya is a or a seed-grown line.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

The growth our record gives Amarocoya. A drawing of the form, not of any one plant.The sector runs the length of the stem because it follows a line of growing tissue, not the light.

Filed under the same family, Pachanoi. The better-documented ones come first.
