No Vilmorin didn't forget it but the name has been changed which apparently they aren't aware of.

Notice the first link.

Keith Mueller is up to date on taxonomy

http://kdcomm.net/~tomato/Tomato/tax.html

And everyone should know about Keith's website which is an absolute treasure

http://www.kdcomm.net/~tomato/

Take a look at the well known tomato varieties that Keith has bred and what he's been working on. As well as all the great links,how to cross tomatoes,what is segregation all about,etc.

Keith got his degree with Dr.Randolf Gardner,known worldwide for all the varieties he has bred.Randy is/was at the NCSU Experimental station,and I call hime Randy since I've known him well for a long time and trialed several of his new ones. Fusion also knows him.

Randy is now retired,but is still breeding tomatoes.He spends winters in NC and summers at his old family farm in Virginia.

I was so pleased to see he was here at Tville yesterday,so I Pmed him and asked for an update.Each year I send him an electronic card from England and there was one he especially loved,me too,of a young boy playing a violin, so I told him I'd send it again for Xmas.Randy plays the violin, well, it's bigger than a standard violin but I forget the name.

Easier to PM than fetch his em addy.

Caroly, 77, and still not in heaven.
