Every ring is that plant’s own seal, in its family’s colour — open one to keep going.
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 parents here are read from the name itself, which growers write mother × father; no source states them separately.Reported, but not confirmed.

What the sources say
"Rimac" is the clearest example in the hobby of a name that is not one plant. It comes from the Rímac River valley in Lima Province, Peru, and in cultivation it covers several distinct and seed-grown lines. So the parent behind this cross is a family of plants, not a single mother that can be looked up.Reported, but not confirmed.
Our own plant, in the yard. 5 pictures of it on its collection page.
