Nadir is a kept for how little it spines: growers describe it as about as close to spineless as a cactus gets, on the usual green and well-marked ribs. It came into wider circulation through a Spanish vendor, and where it was before that is honestly unknown. Talk of it being collected from naturalised Spanish stands is only speculation, and the wiki page flags it as such.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Of the 9 things this page says, 1 names who reports it and 8 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 Nadir. 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
What happened before Tricholand had it is unverified.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Some members guess the plant came from naturalised or feral stands in Spain, and the wiki page itself points out that is not native there even though it can naturalise.Reported, but not confirmed.
Where the name comes from

What the sources say
The wiki page carries a banner saying it was assembled by a bot from community chat and has not been checked by an editor.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.The suggestion of a wild Spanish origin is explicitly rated as unverified speculation on the wiki page itself.Reported, but not confirmed.
