Are there really 17 discovered species of tomatoes? Searching through internet I can find this:

10 species - study from 2005.

13 species - study from 2005.

13 species - study from 2008.

Is there any updated study?
You've changed the above from when I last saw it where you were citing info from 2008, etc. and asking if anyone had any updates.so I'm going to link to some stuff I had already saved to my faves before you changed it

http://tgrc.ucdavis.edu/key.aspx

The above is current, to 2017

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato

the one above goes through the key for Solanum and Lycopersicon as did the first link

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q...o+wild+species

The one above repeats some info but there is some new as well.

A laboratory in England requested many pimps from the TGRC and did QTL DNA snips to see if they were true pimps or not. I once had it in my faves but I think I tried to access it and it was a dead link.

How would you order seeds from TGRC, as you said above,when you now know from what I posted earlier that you have to fill out an application first, and then verify what you have bred,etc.
