Grown hereName only
Xotchil is a named that rarely comes up, and that is genuinely the whole of it. Our own catalogue records the plant growing here and describes the name as one you seldom see; no reference we can check carries a species, a finder, a date or a description for it. The entry is short on purpose — a page padded out with invented character would be worth less than this sentence.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.
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 name who reports them. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
No source in this library records a cross for Xotchil. 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.
