S. Neorickii
S. Cheesmaniae
S. Galapagense
S. Pimpinellifolium

Most of them I have as multiple lines. The one thing that is striking is growing Sungold side by side with the wild species. One thing stands out right away. The leaf structure, plant architecture, and leaf odor of Sungold are a dead ringer for S. Habrochaites LA1777 or LA2175. The only one of the wild species that smells like Sungold is S. Habrochaites.
Now I do remember that you had mentioned that before but since I'm one of the persons who is SSN ( sungold scent negative) it would be no problem to me.

Do you know what happened to Keith's Sunlucky, since last I knew some thought that Sungold F1 taste was in some way linked to what some smell of the foliage and apparently he was able to link the two, but I know nothing more.
