Hybrid

Greg

Partially documented

Greg is a hybrid recorded as a Huarazensis crossed with and imported from Australia. The description on offer is lime-green to yellow colouring that deepens in full sun, notched ribs and a twisting habit. All of it comes from one seller's listing, so read it as a claim about a plant rather than a verified record.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

  • variegated
  • lime yellow
  • notchy ribs
  • twisty growth

HybridNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.

Of the 10 things this page says, 1 is something several independent sources agree on, 4 name who reports them and 5 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.

Every ring is that plant’s own seal, in its family’s colour — open one to keep going. Arrow keys move between them.

Each plant wears its own seal here, coloured by its family — so a cross shows which side brought what before you read a name. A dashed ring is a plant with no page here yet, and a wire is only ever drawn from a parent somebody wrote down. Children are worked out from the other entries rather than stored on this one, so recording a cross anywhere lights it up on both plants.

The line matters as much as the box. A dashed line is a cross we can report but cannot confirm. Every cross drawn here is at that weakest reading, which is the true state of this plant's record.

Drawn 3 generations each way. Everything our sources record for this plant is in the drawing; the family stops there, not the tree.

The wiki page writes the parentage as Huarazensis x Scopulicola without saying which plant carried the fruit; the community convention is to put the first.Reported, but not confirmed.

The longer version

Species, as our sources record it: stated as a Huarazensis x Scopulicola .

The same note warns that the last photograph on the wiki page is a borrowed reference image, not the seller's own plant.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Notes
It is variegated, carrying a lime-green to yellow cast that strengthens in direct sun.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Variegated tissue lacking full chlorophyll commonly reads lime to yellow and deepens under strong light.Ribs are notched and the plant tends to twist as it grows.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Notched ribs and a slow spiral to the growth are both ordinary Trichocereus traits.

What the sources say

The entire entry is a single vendor's product description, reproduced without a second source.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Huarazensis is a grower's label taken from Huaraz in Peru, not a published botanical name — no cactus name in any genus uses that , and the only plant name that does is a bromeliad. That is part of why the spelling never settled. The other parent's name is a published one: scopulicola, Ritter, 1966.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.

The growth our record gives Greg. A drawing of the form, not of any one plant.The sector runs the length of the stem because it follows a line of growing tissue, not the light.

Filed under the same family, Hybrid. The better-documented ones come first.
