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

Name only
Cove is one of the the community's identification page uses to show what a bridgesii looks like, which settles the species question and leaves everything else open. Nobody has written down who found it, where it came from or when, and no description of its ribs, spines or growth exists. The photographs on that page illustrate the species; they are not a description of this plant, and we will not write one out of them.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
BridgesiiNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 3 things this page says, 3 are 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 Cove Bridgesii. 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.
