Partially documented
The community wiki lists Rod as a and enters nothing else — no origin, no description, no photograph.Reported, but not confirmed.A specialist reference goes further and records an Ecuadorian pachanoi, strongly V-notched above the , whose flowers carry white hairs.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Flower tubes in this group are characteristically clothed in dark hairs, so white hairs run against the weight of evidence.Who put the name on it, and when, is still unwritten in both accounts.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
PachanoiNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 7 things this page says, 3 name who reports them 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 Rod. 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.
