T. Peruvianus Howard
Partially documented
Also written as Howard

No measurements of the plant exist, so the name currently records a rather than a described cactus.Reported, but not confirmed.

Of the 11 things this page says, 1 is something several independent sources agree on, 3 name who reports them and 7 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 T. Peruvianus Howard. 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.

What the sources say
The wiki page is thin and unverified, so this is a name with a place attached rather than a documented .Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Our own notes already carry the Tulare Valley origin at low confidence; the wiki page adds the associated grower but keeps that role vague.Reported by 2 independent sources; we have not seen it ourselves.The wiki page is bot-compiled and unverified.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
