Psycho0 seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.
Bridgesii
Psycho0
Partially documented
Also written as P0, Psycho0 P0
Psycho0, also written P0, has an empty page in the community wiki: the heading records both forms of the name and nothing else.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.A specialist reference does document the plant — a out of Cactus Country, the Victorian cactus garden, usually carrying three strong yellow spines, and named in memory of a grower who died young.Reported, but not confirmed.So the name is well used in the hobby and the community's own reference has still not been filled in.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
BridgesiiNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 13 things this page says, 4 name who reports them and 9 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
No source names a mother or a father for this one.
Origin
Named in memory of a grower who died young. A second source credits the choice to a member of an Australian growers' forum, by their handle rather than by a name.
no source says whether it is seed-grown or a cutting line
This cultivar: Psycho0. Children: CV Favorite (Psycho0 x TPMC), Hybrid family, Psycho0 is recorded as its seed parent — unconfirmed; Psycho0 × Eileen, Hybrid family, Psycho0 is recorded as its seed parent — unconfirmed.
Every ring is that plant’s own seal, in its family’s colour — open one to keep going. Arrow keys move between them.
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.
The longer version
Species, as our sources record it: bridgesii, which the specialist reference gives under its synonym lageniformis.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
Australia's national biodiversity index carries Trichocereus as an accepted genus, with no species concepts beneath it and no synonyms at all.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.So an Australian has no herbarium or census record to be checked against, and an Australian origin recorded here will always rest on collections and growers rather than on an institution.Reported, but not confirmed.
Where the name comes from
The community wiki holds the name, in both its long and short forms, with no text beneath it.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.A specialist reference records the plant as having come out of Cactus Country in Victoria, Australia, and a Californian nursery selling it says the same.Reported, but not confirmed.The garden's own record puts its beginning in 1979, when the founder bought his father's cactus collection, and says it has grown from half an acre to over eight, on the Murray Valley Highway at Strathmerton in Victoria.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Spines
Usually three strong yellow spines to an , on a specialist reference's account.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Few strong yellow spines per areole is a well-known pattern in this genus and nothing contradicts it.
Notes
Listed regularly on the sales subreddit, by a good spread of different sellers.Reported, but not confirmed.
What the sources say
Our sources record how it sells and nothing about how it grows. Our own notes record several seed-grown hybrids in the yard with Psycho0 as a parent, and listings under the name on the sales subreddit, so the name clearly circulates even though the wiki page is blank.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
