Khronos seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.

Khronos
Partially documented
Khronos is a rarity rather than a community : the people who have handled it say it has never been widely spread. The story attached to it is that a couple were given the plant in Peru more than forty years ago and brought it home to the United States, after which it passed through a short chain of named keepers. Growers call it a good-looking plant at maturity, but no description of its ribs, spines or colour has been written down.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Of the 5 things this page says, 5 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 Khronos. 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.
