SS02 × Olivia seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.
Hybrid
SS02 × Olivia
Grown herePartially documented
Also written as SS02 x Olivia
Rooted multi-pup pieces with stacked growth, dark green and tightly spaced spines.Checked and judged by our house botanist; no outside source states it. Each trait listed — stacked growth, dark skin, close spination, basal pups — is normal here.
HybridCross: A seed-grown plant from two named parents, written mother × father.
Of the 6 things this page says, 4 name who reports them and 2 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
Every ring is that plant’s own seal, in its family’s colour — open one to keep going. Arrow keys move between them.
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.

Skin
Dark green.Checked and judged by our house botanist; no outside source states it. Dark green skin falls well within the normal colour range for these columnar cacti.
Spines
Closely spaced.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
Growth habit
Stacked, with several pups to a piece.Checked and judged by our house botanist; no outside source states it. Stacked growth habit and multiple offsets per piece are both ordinary for the genus.
What the sources say
The Olivia line's clustered growth is documented as being mistaken for disease, which is worth knowing before you treat a healthy plant.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Our own plant, in the yard. 5 pictures of it on its collection page.
