Name only
Gaig is listed in the community wiki as a . That single species label, plus one photograph, is the whole entry — no grower, no origin, no description of how it grows. We carry the name so the record is complete, not because there is anything documented to say about the plant.Reported, but not confirmed.

ScopulicolaNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 2 things this page says, 2 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 Gaig. 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.
What the record holds
The community wiki files Gaig under scopulicola and shows one photograph, but records nothing about who found it or where the name came from.Reported, but not confirmed.

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.
