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

Dino
Partially documented
Dino is recorded as a and nothing more. No origin, namer or description accompanies the label. Anyone reading the name should treat it as a starting point for identification rather than a documented history.Reported, but not confirmed.
ScopulicolaNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 4 things this page says, 4 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 Dino. 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.
The longer version
The same nursery names the trait it uses to tell the apart from other scopulicolas: distinctly white , on the bulbous tip, short spines and leathery green it expects of the species.Reported, but not confirmed.
Where the name comes from
The community wiki entry is the species label alone. A California nursery that grows it says the clone came from New Zealand.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Nobody has described the skin, the ribs or the spines of this one anywhere we could cite, so there is nothing here to draw or to list.
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.
