I have been looking at various nurseries for tomatillos and Baker creek has some iteresting ones they collected themselves. Purple Coban. Collected at Coban, Guatemala.
Also "Tiny From Coban" Collected same place, in 2005, grown out finally in 2013. Part of the description
"a true tomatillo, having the typical husk, but the fruit is smaller, about the diameter of a dime. Fruits ripen to green or purple and are possessed of an unusual savory taste—somewhat different from other tomatillos"
The Amarylla Tomatillo from Poland, is a yellow one. More like a huge ground cherry.
