SS04 NY4 seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.

SS04 NY4 stacks a second code onto a Sacred Succulents number. The SS prefix is documented — it is a California nursery's own series, the one that produced SS01, SS02 and SS03 — but nothing on record explains what the added NY4 marks, whether a grower, a place or one seedling out of a batch, and nothing says whether this and plain SS04 are the same plant.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
Other TrichocereusField-collection code: A collector's accession number — initials and a number — rather than a nickname.
Of the 4 things this page says, 2 name who reports them and 2 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
No source in this library records a cross for SS04 NY4. 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.
The longer version
The SS prefix is the California nursery Sacred Succulents' own, fixed by our catalogue's record of SS01 and SS02 and by SS03's distribution.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
