Brevispinulosus seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.

Brevispinulosus
Name only
Brevispinulosus is Latin in shape and reads like a species — it would mean something along the lines of short-spined. It is worth saying plainly that it is not one: a direct search of the standing index of published plant names returns nothing under that word, in the cactus family or in any other. So the word is a coinage in circulation rather than a species, the wiki page behind it is empty, and there is no described plant to attach to it.Reported, but not confirmed.
Other TrichocereusNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 2 things this page says, 1 names who reports it and 1 is marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
No source in this library records a cross for Brevispinulosus. Nobody names a mother or a father for it, and no other entry here names it as a parent.
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.
