Santa Marta
Family & lineage
Santa Marta is a Colombian landrace-associated catalog name tied to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region in most educational tellings. Collectors used it for equatorial sativa-leaning selections with incense and spice stories. Exact early parents are Unknown; this page does not invent a breeder.
Santa Marta sits with other New World tropical place-names used to teach long-flowering catalog language. Live neighbors include Colombian Gold, Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, Haze, and Thai. Confirm each page rather than forcing one tree. Do not assume every Colombian-branded jar is Santa Marta stock.
Why the name mattered: Santa Marta gave later catalogs a named Colombian highland label beside broader Colombian Gold talk. That usefulness put the name into foundation hybrid conversations and Haze-adjacent lore without proving a single preserved cut. Later dessert names that only gesture at Colombia are not automatic proof of this selection. If a hybrid page claims Santa Marta as a parent, link it only if that page exists here and the claim is commonly published.
Educational reading tips: start with Colombian Gold and Panama Red for neighboring regional stories, then Haze for how tropical inputs entered California and Dutch catalogs. Exact village sources stay Unknown.
Catalog terpene names commonly discussed include myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene.
