Vernes Glaucus seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.
Name only
Vernes Glaucus
Grown hereName only
One of the names growing in this yard. A California nursery that has grown it for years describes the plant, though not where the name came from.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
Other TrichocereusNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 3 things this page says, 3 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 Vernes Glaucus. 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
That nursery describes unusually wavy tubercles against blue and long brown spines, and says the profile alone is enough to tell the apart from other .Reported, but not confirmed.

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
A vendor called Verne is recorded as a distributor of "Rimac" material, and "Verne's Fastest" appears as a competitor's listing. That is the same vendor name turning up twice — it is not evidence about this plant.Reported, but not confirmed.
A Trichocereus column, drawn. We grow this one; I haven't photographed it yet.
