Other genus
Glorp
Glorp is reportedly a form of Myrtillocactus geometrizans, the blue candle cactus: growth in lumps and swirls instead of tidy columns. James Peterson spotted the mutated patch inside a large, otherwise ordinary landscaping stand around June 2018, cut it out and named it, and is reported to have kept it weird by trimming away every normal shoot so the plant could only from mutated tissue.
