Kumeyaay Bridgesii
Partially documented
Kumeyaay is a Bolivian torch selected from one of several established stands in Alpine, San Diego County, by the grower Alpine , who named it for the Kumeyaay nation whose historical land the stand grows on. The is clear; the description is not. No count, spine length or colour has been recorded, so the entry is about where the plant came from rather than what it looks like.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.

Of the 8 things this page says, 2 name who reports them and 6 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 Kumeyaay Bridgesii. 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
A separate from Cahuilla, which grows in this yard and honours a different nation — the two are sometimes spoken of together and are not the same plant.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Our notes flag that the yard's Cahuilla is a separate clone also named for an indigenous nation; the two should not be merged.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
