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

Also written as Matucana Peru

Sellers who name a species for it write .Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Beyond that the record is empty: no finder, no date, nobody's account of where it came from. Saying so is the honest end of this page.Reported, but not confirmed.

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 dashed line is a cross we can report but cannot confirm. Every cross drawn here is at that weakest reading, which is the true state of this plant's record.

Drawn 3 generations each way. Everything our sources record for this plant is in the drawing; the family stops there, not the tree.
