NOTES
Parent term. Children recorded here: Clone A (long form), Clone B (short form), Clone C, Clone D, crested. Species is bridgesii throughout, syn. Echinopsis lageniformis. On the crested form: Sacred Succulents independently document crested tissue appearing spontaneously on an already monstrose bridgesii, which they distribute as f. cristata-monstrosus Clone B. That corroborates the Freaky Cacti account that the switch need not be injury-triggered.
Name drift · highUmbrella, not a clone. The aka previously included "long form TBM", which conflates the umbrella with Clone A specifically. Letter assignments are not stable between regions: Trichocereus.net note the long form is also called Clone 2, and record that in Australia Clone B is common while Clone A is extremely hard to find. Backeberg claimed in Die Cactaceae to be the source of at least one of the two.
