Preserve the received label

Record PC, predominant cultivar or “pachanot” exactly as supplied, along with where and when the plant was obtained. The name by itself does not prove that every similarly labelled plant belongs to a single authenticated clone.

Keep the origin question open

Competing origin stories need independently traceable evidence before they establish a lineage. No parentage is inferred here from appearance, a market label or repetition of the same story.

A useful record can contain an unknown

A dated cutting chain is useful even when the earliest origin is unknown. State the last documented link and leave earlier steps open. Build a better lineage record →
