LFM
Well documented
Also written as Lima Flower Market
LFM stands for Lima Flower Market, the place the original plant was bought. It is treated as a San Pedro, a little lighter green than the Ogun that gardens tend to grow it beside, with a slightly different stem shape. The open question is breeding: growers cannot get LFM and Ogun to set seed together even when both flower at once, which has some suspecting the two are the same plant under different names.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Species
Not recorded
No botanical name on file. What the sources do say about its species is in the writing below.
No source in this library records a cross for LFM. 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.

Where the name comes from
The original plant was bought at a flower market in Lima, Peru, and the initials come from that.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Notes
Grown alongside Ogun and LMP, its reads as a lighter green.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Skin tone varies between clones and a slightly lighter green next to another plant is well within the genus.Its stems take a slightly different shape from Ogun under the same conditions.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Repeated attempts to it with Ogun have failed, even when both flowered at the same time and both accepted from other plants.Our house botanist's reading of this: What the initials stand for is a record, and failed crosses alone do not settle whether two names are one plant.
What the sources say
The failed crosses have growers asking whether LFM and Ogun are one clone, while the colour and shape differences argue they are not; the wiki page leaves it unresolved.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
