SGC16 is a coded name registered with an empty page. Codes of this shape usually pair a grower's or nursery's initials with a number, but the community wiki does not say whose initials these are or what the plant looks like. We list the name only.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Other TrichocereusField-collection code: A collector's accession number — initials and a number — rather than a nickname.

Of the 2 things this page says, 2 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.

what the record holds

No source in this library records a cross for SGC16. 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.

What the record holds

Nobody has described the skin, the ribs or the spines of this one anywhere we could cite, so there is nothing here to draw or to list.

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.

Cultivar histories in this hobby are passed between growers; where sources disagree we say so rather than pick a side.
