Space Jam
Well documented
Space Jam is a blue, powdery-skinned taken as from a large stand in Jerusalem and put into circulation around 2018 by the grower who named it. It carries five to seven well-defined ribs and needle spines that emerge golden and darken with age. The species is not recorded, and the name is simply a private joke of the namer's rather than a description of the plant.Reported, but not confirmed.

Species
Not recorded
No botanical name on file. What the sources do say about its species is in the writing below.
No source in this library records a cross for Space Jam. 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.

Spines
Needle-shaped, bright golden-yellow at the growing tip and browner further down; centrals run about 1-2 cm with shorter radials.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Yellow-tipped needle spines ageing browner, with centrals of a couple of centimetres over shorter radials, is typical.
Notes
: small and set slightly into the .One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Small, slightly sunken areoles are a common and unremarkable condition in the genus.
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.
