Cohuete azul
Partially documented
Cohuete azul is a blue, that Andrea Rossi found growing untended in the Canary Islands, most likely from someone had discarded in a green space. Rossi introduced it to the wider community and still distributes it. Growers report it takes hard sun well and thickens up nicely, but no measurements of ribs or spines have been written down.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Species
Not recorded
No botanical name on file. What the sources do say about its species is in the writing below.
No source in this library records a cross for Cohuete azul. 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.

Skin
Distinctly blue and glaucous, which is what the name refers to.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Heavy blue glaucous bloom is well within the genus's normal range, and a name pointing at that colour is unremarkable.
Growth habit
One Texas grower reports it grows thick and healthy in strong central Texas sun.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Notes
counts, spine measurements and flower detail are not recorded.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
What the sources say
No source we have found argues about this name — nobody has written that it is confused with another plant, or that two growers mean different things by it. That is worth knowing in itself.
