According to the author: The hybrid was created a long time ago, in 1995. Parents - mom Ech. lohgiscapus, dad Ech. Barthi, at that time it was called Ech. osisris double red. It was initially rejected because of its size, like many of its other brothers. BV was saved. Panyukov, who convinced me that beautiful plants should not be thrown away just because of their size. And Boris Vasilyevich argued with iron, he said, but look at the height of the aquariums popular with the "birdie", 70 - 80 cm, and the meter is far from unusual. In short, I was convinced. And the name of the hybrid was given in honor of the river in my homeland. Ulug-Khem is the name of the Yenisei in Kysyl (Tuva).^[1]
