True Stupice has PL foliage and I don't of anyone who has said otherwise.

Was it the one plant that had fruits different from the rest that had the RL foliage?

it's possible that the seeds you bought were already crossed to get RL plants and some plants that were different than other plants in terms of the fruits.

Have you looked at the pictures at Tania's and elsewhere to confirm that even what you got with the supposed RL Stupice plants were indeed true Stupice?

When a PL variety ends up being RL it usually means crossed seeds since RL is genetically dominant to PL, which is recessive.
