NOID
Well documented
Also written as No ID, NOIDs
Not a at all: community shorthand for a plant with no label.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Other TrichocereusInformal label: Shorthand or a describing label rather than a cultivar name. It does not promise one specific plant.
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 NOID. 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
A licensed Californian nursery offers openly described as lost-label plants and calls them NOIDs on its own shop.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.That the term is honest labelling rather than a mark against a plant has until now rested entirely on growers saying so to each other; this is the same practice recorded in a different kind of source, and a commercial one at that.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.

Notes
Unlabelled plants are traded openly as a tier of their own, alongside "uglies" and , and they are among the commonest things on offer.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
What the sources say
Worth understanding before you shop. A is honest labelling, not a defect — it means the seller does not know, and says so. Buyers of unlabelled big-box plants routinely cannot tell what they bought, which is the gap this library exists to close.Reported, but not confirmed.
