Pachanoi
T. pachanoi cv. 'Dangar'
Well documented
Also written as Dangar
Dangar is a spineless rescued from a Solana Beach yard clearance and named for its finder's eBay handle. It is described in unusual detail for a page: five or six slightly wavy ribs, small white evenly spaced along them, waxy and a tan woolly tip. The origin story, by contrast, comes from one person only, and the wiki page says so plainly.Reported, but not confirmed.

No source in this library records a cross for T. pachanoi cv. 'Dangar'. 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 wiki page flags that this whole history rests on a single community member's telling, with no second source behind it.Reported, but not confirmed.
Where the name comes from
Daniel Lawrence Garber found the plant in their own neighbourhood near Solana Beach, California, and named it after their online handle.Reported, but not confirmed.

Ribs
Five or six, fairly straight with a slight wave to them.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Spines
Mature areoles carry none at all.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Spineless mature areoles are well within the range this genus shows.
Growth habit
A robust column, with light brown to tan wool at the apex.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. A stout column with pale brown to tan apical wool is ordinary for the genus.
Notes
Areoles: small, round and white, spaced evenly along the of each .One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. The quoted note places areoles along normal rib crests, which describes ordinary ribbed growth, not a cristate habit.
What the sources say
The wiki page states the origin account is uncorroborated and did not meet its own threshold for quotation.Reported, but not confirmed.
