Neptune

Partially documented

Neptune is one of the newest names in circulation: every listing we hold for it is from 2026, and there is not one before that.Reported, but not confirmed.That is worth saying plainly, because it is also why it took so long to notice — a library seeded once from older records cannot contain a name that did not exist when the seeding happened.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.Sellers offer it as and as slab cuts off a graft rather than as ordinary rooted columns, which is what you would expect of something still being multiplied up.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Several put an Australian flag on it, and one lists a plain green one specifically as "non vari", which implies that the form is the one people are expecting.Reported, but not confirmed.One seller writes its parentage as (SS02 × SS01) × .Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.That is their account of the plant they are selling, nothing else we can check confirms it, and it is recorded here as their claim rather than as this library's. Beyond that, nothing: no finder, no naming, no description we can stand behind.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.

Other TrichocereusNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.

Of the 12 things this page says, 4 name who reports them and 8 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.

Family line

what the record holds

No source in this library records a confirmed cross for Neptune, and no other entry here names it as a parent. What the record does hold is below.

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.

One seller's listing gives the parentage as (SS02 × SS01) × TPM.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.A single seller's own description is evidence of what that seller is selling and weak evidence about , so it is written here rather than drawn as a family tree.Reported, but not confirmed.

Nobody has described the skin, the ribs or the spines of this one anywhere we could cite, so there is nothing here to draw or to list.

What the sources say

Neither the community wiki nor the specialist references carry a page for this name.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.Its listings all begin in 2026.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.That is not a surprising combination, and it is exactly why the library now watches the sale listings for new names instead of waiting for the references to catch up.Reported, but not confirmed.
