Not from a documented source.

It's listed in the SSE YEarbook in the other species section and here's a few words gleaned from some listers from the 2010 Yearbook:

yellow currant
wild type
small currant type
regular leaf
regular leaf

I don't know the folks who are listing it so I don't know if they're just taking descriptions for former listers, which often happens. or if they know how to tell a Pimp from a non-pimp. And I don't know if they know how to distinguish between a true pimp and a cerasiforme such as Matt's Wild.

Two folks said regular leaf, but if they'd grown currant varieties before I wouldn't' have expected them to say regular leaf.

Best I can do, and I've never heard of anyone reporting any particular problems with it in terms of crossing, but then only about half the pimps have exherted stigmas anyway. I haven't grown it so can't add any personal experience.
