Carolyn,

My primary reason for suspecting it has Piminellifolium in the background is that it has the jagged leaf and multiple stem traits. These are not found to that degree in pure Esculentum. The trichomes and stomata are very similar to Cerasiforme. So my best guess is that it is derived from a cross of cerasiforme X Pimpinellifolium but I would be hard pressed to prove it other than to note that some of the traits are common to those two groups.
