Saquarema
Partially documented
Saquarema is this library's only Brazilian origin. A specialist reference records the plant as found in Brazil and named for the municipality it was found in, and says seed collected at the base of the was raised on — one of those seedlings being . are offered under this name on the growers' sale subreddit by several different sellers, which is evidence the name circulates and is not evidence of what the plant is.Reported, but not confirmed.

Origin
Found in Brazil and named for the municipality of Saquarema; seed collected at the base of the mother plant was grown on, and one of the resulting seedlings is variegated.
no source says whether it is seed-grown or a cutting line
No source in this library records a cross for Saquarema. 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.

Notes
The variegation our sources record belongs to a seedling raised from the mother plant's seed, not to the mother plant itself. Reading it as a trait of the would be reading a family's habit onto one plant.Reported, but not confirmed.
What the sources say
No source we have found argues about this name — nobody has written that it is confused with another plant, or that two growers mean different things by it. That is worth knowing in itself.
