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

Uyuampsis
Name only
Uyuampsis is the only name filed under U in the community's index and its page is empty. One thing can be said honestly without claiming an identity: a published cactus name sits very close to it in spelling — uyupampensis, put into print by Backeberg in the mid-1930s and held in the standing index of plant names ever since. That is a fact about the index, not about this plant. Names in this hobby drift in spelling constantly, and a resemblance between two strings is not a species.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Other TrichocereusInformal label: Shorthand or a describing label rather than a cultivar name. It does not promise one specific plant.
Of the 3 things this page says, 1 names who reports it 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 Uyuampsis. 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.

Nobody has described the skin, the ribs or the spines of this one anywhere we could cite, so there is nothing here to draw or to list.
What the sources say
The index carries Trichocereus uyupampensis Backeb., published in 1935 and again in the 1936 handbook, plus the later combination. Nothing connects the clone name to it beyond how the two words look.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
A Trichocereus column, drawn. We don't grow this one, and we will not borrow anybody else's photograph of it.
