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 Monarto Spineless Scopulicola (MSS). 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.

Notes
The name claims a spineless scopulicola, but no observation on the wiki page backs that up.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
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.
