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

Lindsay
Partially documented
Lindsay is a people notice as a youngster: its pups come dark-skinned with fine white spines that contrast against them. The origin is not properly recorded, beyond an association with a grower named David, and growers are still arguing about whether it is connected to an older Los Angeles called Linda. Nothing about mature growth is documented.Reported, but not confirmed.

Of the 5 things this page says, 1 names who reports it and 4 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 Lindsay. 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.
The longer version
Growers debate whether it is related to Linda, an older puquiensis cultivar taken from a long-established stand in Los Angeles.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Where the name comes from
Where Lindsay came from is poorly recorded; the discussion links it to a grower named David.Reported, but not confirmed.

Notes
The young growth is the draw: pups come dark-skinned with fine white spines set against them.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Darker young skin bearing fine white spines is an ordinary feature of new pups in this genus.
What the sources say
Its relationship to the similarly named Linda is unresolved.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
