I have grown two strains from the Galapagos islands. One from Santa Cruz Island, and one from Isabela Island. The one from Santa Cruz had narrow leaves (heavily serrated) and orange jointless fruits. The one from Isabela Island had hairy/broad leaves, and had yellow fruits with joints. Both was from wild collected seeds from a European genebank. The taste was unremarkable, the growth was very remarkable though. Especially the one from Santa Cruz grew very fast into a huge, wide plant.
