ORIGIN
Locality:Cajamarca to Namora road, Cajamarca Department, northern Peru
Origin note:Collected by Myron Kimnach and companions along the Cajamarca to Namora road, Cajamarca Department, northern Peru, in 1984. Mallacht's Plants give the collection date as 19 May 1984. Kimnach was director of the Huntington Botanical Gardens at the time. Sacred Succulents describe the region as known for diverse San Pedro and a lineage of ceremonial use going back millennia. This is the Huntington accession for that collection. Note a date conflict: this record has it accessioned 15 May 1984 while Mallacht's give collection as 19 May 1984, which cannot both be right in that order.

NOTES
Institutional accession for the clone traded as Kimnach. See the Kimnach and Kimnach 2876D records, which describe the same plant.
Name drift · highThree records in this database describe one plant: Kimnach, Kimnach 2876D and HBG 53196. The Trichocereus History group title it 'Trichocereus pachanoi Kimnach (HBG 53196, 2876D)', and Misplant and San Pedro Depot both give HBG 53196 as the accession for the Kimnach clone. Separately, the clone is nicknamed 'short spine peruvianus' for having longer spines than most pachanoi, which collides with the Fastest / Verne's Short Spine Peruvianus / Mallacht's Short Spine cluster. Two unrelated plants share that descriptive nickname.Confused with: Kimnach, Kimnach 2876D
