I think this is him:

A lot of alpine and desert plants seem to be named by him or after him.

I remember about 6-7 years ago, there was a video of the LA Beast eating some sort of small columnar cactus whole. Some other Youtube clown, Chuckie from the Bronx, tried to do an imitation video, but he unwisely chose Opuntia microdasys as his snack of choice. He got to find out what an entire mouth full of glochids felt like.

Ok thanks that's helpful. I couldn't figure out why it was showing up in different genus. Now I can look up the guy.

Dead dude named Parry, unfortunately. So many dead white guys have plants named after them.

What does "parryi" refer to? I googled it but couldn't find a helpful answer.

I have a kid about as nuts as you. He's a bomb technician, go figure. Also just found a copy of "Railroad Noir" thanks to your efforts. You enrich my life endlessly!
