SS04

Also written as Ss04

Reportedly, SS04 continues the Sacred Succulents numbering — SS is that California nursery's own prefix, the same series behind SS01, SS02 and SS03. SS04 is recorded as one of the labels the nursery has sold chalaensis under, and its spines are described as honey-brown, where other chalaensis have red-black ones.

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