Kimnach seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.
Pachanoi
Kimnach
Partially documented
Also written as Trichocereus pachanoi 'Kimnach', HBG 53196, 2876D
Kimnach is a San Pedro with an unusually precise paper trail for this hobby: collected by Myron Kimnach on the Cajamarca to Namora road in Peru on 19 May 1984, and carried under two accession numbers. Kimnach is recorded as the director of the botanical garden the first number belongs to. What the plant looks like is not described anywhere on the wiki page, so the value here is rather than appearance.Reported by 2 independent sources; we have not seen it ourselves.

PachanoiNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 7 things this page says, 1 is something several independent sources agree on, 3 name who reports them and 3 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.
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 medium line is a cross on record as a report.
Drawn 3 generations each way. Everything our sources record for this plant is in the drawing; the family stops there, not the tree.

Nobody has described the skin, the ribs or the spines of this one anywhere we could cite, so there is nothing here to draw or to list.
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.
A Pachanoi column, drawn. We don't grow this one, and we will not borrow anybody else's photograph of it.
