===== Description =====
"Kumeyaay Bridgesii" is a clone of the species //Trichocereus bridgesii// (syn. //Echinopsis lageniformis//). While specific morphological details such as exact rib count, spine length, and epidermis color are not detailed in the primary discussion, it is recognized as a distinct Bridgesii phenotype sourced from the Alpine region of California.

===== History & Origin =====
This clone was identified and propagated by the grower **Alpine Trichos**. It originates from one of several established //Trichocereus bridgesii// stands located in Alpine, San Diego County, California. The clone was named "Kumeyaay" because the stand grows on land historically inhabited by the indigenous Kumeyaay nation.

===== Cultivation Notes =====
No specific cultivation details were provided in the community discussion. Standard cultivation practices for //Trichocereus pachanoi// and //Trichocereus bridgesii// apply:
  * **Soil:** Highly gritty, well-draining soil mix (at least 50% inorganic material like pumice or perlite).
  * **Watering:** Thoroughly water during the active growing season, allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings. Keep dry during winter dormancy.
  * **Light:** Prefers bright, filtered sunlight or partial shade, especially in hot inland climates like Southern California.
