Verne's Wild Andes 1 seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.

Verne's Wild Andes 1
Partially documented
Verne's Wild Andes 1 is a distributed by the California grower Verne and generally agreed to have been raised from wild-collected Peruvian seed. Growers single out its unusually prominent over a blue-green . count, spine detail and measurements are simply not on record, and the seed-origin claim is community consensus rather than documentation.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

No source in this library records a cross for Verne's Wild Andes 1. 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.

Skin
blue-green.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Waxy blue-green bloom is common across the genus and nothing here is implausible.
Notes
Areoles: unusually prominent, which is what growers single out.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Prominent areoles are a common and plausible distinguishing feature.Rib count, spine colour and measurements have not been recorded.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
What the sources say
The Icaros seed origin is reported as something growers heard rather than as a documented fact. The wiki page is bot-compiled and unverified.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
