Maybe the article in SSE was updated, I didn't compare the two, but DNA analysis has been done and the results were mentioned in the SSE article.

SSE is putting it into tissue culture to clean it up and it wasn 't clear if it would be offered in the Yearbook or the public catalog.

What did interest me so much was it not going down all summer and finding both matrue tubers and small new potatoes at the same time in the late Fall as well as the interesting history that the DNA analysis showed not only back to Chile but also Ozette, which I've grown, Red Indian and the others mentioned in the article.
