Variety subject to lively controversy between collectors. For some it would be the same one as Purple Calabash and for others an obtention of a certain André. Cultures made in parallel with Purple Calabash would have shown that they are indeed the same varieties. Nevertheless, it was presented to the Seed Savers Yearbook of 2004. Solana seeds being one of the rare sites to market it.
