JNG39 Powerline is a Matucana San Pedro collected by the pair recorded as JN and GH, who state the collection was made legally under the required permits. The second word appears to mark the site, but the wiki page leaves it unexplained. Five photographs are attached and no written description, so nothing about ribs, spines or colour is on record.Reported, but not confirmed.

what the record holds

No source in this library records a cross for JNG39 Powerline. 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.
