JB13 Peruvianus
Partially documented
Also written as JB13
JB13 is a Peruvian torch taken from the field rather than raised in a garden, credited to a collector named Jelly. That single sentence plus a set of photographs is the whole wiki entry — no locality, no date, no or spine description. The code marks a specific collected plant, but the record of what was collected has not been filled in.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Of the 3 things this page says, 3 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 JB13 Peruvianus. 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 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.
