Narrative
Source, date, form received, and original identity of this material are unclear. Plant of uncertain source that might simply be a reversion of NA 41602, received as a variegated form of C. lusitanica. A temporary tag had been placed on this plant in or before 2014 indicating that it was C. chengiana NA 51598-L, and it was presumed to be that until its identity was questioned in 2023. Harlan Svoboda determined that the plant appears to be C. lusitanica instead. The hand-plotted 1998 IPM map that was prepared showed NA 41602 (our only presumed living C. lusitanica at the time) to be growing in a slightly different orientation with respect to other extant plants, particularly C. arizonica NA 47540, so there is uncertainty about whether this is a reversion of NA 41602 or if NA 51598 consisted of misidentified seeds. That accession was supposed to have been collected from the wild in a province in China where the species does not occur, and C. lusitanica is cultivated in China, making both NA 41602 and NA 51598 somewhat plausible. -SBL
