Origin
A selection from Mike's Stone Co, MS psittacina material — a population known for giant forms and clump-forming habit. This particular clone is not a confirmed giant but is distinctive for its white-spot trap pattern.
Standout traits
- White spots on traps — diagnostic.
- Bright red, shapely traps; white below the mouth.
- Mike anticipates the white character can intensify under optimal conditions.
Stone Co context
Stone Co psittacinas as a population are notable for forming massive clumps of huge traps. This clone is a smaller-scale selection within that population.
Standout traits
- White spots on traps — distinctive.
- Bright red, shapely traps with white below the mouth (parallel to leucophylla).
- Some white character — Mike: 'seems plausible this plant could produce much whiter traps than this.'
- Population context: Stone Co psittacinas form 'massive CLUMPS of huge traps' — not just individual giants but giant clumps.
Cultivation
White-below-mouth varies year-to-year and environment-to-environment, similar to leucophylla. Mike anticipates whiter potential under optimal conditions.
