Also written as Hutchison 6212, BBG 640762

Hutchison 6212 BBG 640762 is a pair of reference numbers rather than a nickname: a collector's number and a botanic-garden accession, filed under . Nothing else is recorded — no locality, no date, no traits, no photographs. Codes like this are useful because they point at a documented plant somewhere, but the community wiki does not carry that documentation.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

what the record holds

No source in this library records a cross for Hutchison 6212 BBG 640762. 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

A Californian nursery says all its plants under this number came from Sacred Succulents, and reports something no other source here records: a persistent fungal infection it describes as endemic to this , with the tips often growing clean and all growth eventually carrying fungal scars.Reported by 2 independent sources; we have not seen it ourselves.That is one grower's account of its own plants over time, which is exactly what a trade source is good for and exactly what a pair of accession numbers is not.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.

The same nursery reproduces the seed house's own collection note, which is where the locality comes from: plants collected above 8,000 feet by P. Hutchison with J. K. Wright and R. M. Straw, in the canyon of the Rio Marañón above Chagual and just below Aricapampa, in Huamachuco province, La Libertad, Peru.Reported by 2 independent sources; we have not seen it ourselves.That is a nursery relaying somebody else's field note rather than a second observation, and it is recorded as such.Reported, but not confirmed.

On the plant itself the nursery says a healthy one keeps a fungal crust off the , that the crust does not stop it growing, and that the notching between gets pronounced with maturity.Reported, but not confirmed.

Where the name comes from

The community wiki gives the two numbers and a species label and stops there. A California nursery that grows the clone records the route it took: propagated out of the Berkeley botanic garden, and afterwards through the seed house Sacred Succulents.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
