STUB

Groundskeeper Emeritus

Opuntia sp. — terminal

TECHNICALLY STILL ALIVE.AWAITING REASSIGNMENT.

Accessioned in better condition than he is currently in.

Stub has been reduced to a single pad following an event that was not documented at the time and is now reconstructed only from memory — which is not a reliable record, and is not treated as one.

The plate remains in the ground. The accession remains in the ledger. Retirement in this survey does not mean removal.
