Plant spreading, with grayish green, mostly conduplicate ("curled") leaves and slender, ascending shoots: Ivs. pinnate, with small, nearly entire leaflets interposed, the main leaflets notched or even lobed towards the base: fls. in a short raceme of 4-6: fr. medium to small, flat- tened endwise and furrowed on the sides. âIn cultiva- tion for more than 300 years. Two hundred years ago red and yellow varieties were known. The great evolu- tion of the Tomato did not take place until this century, giving rise to the garden race. Var. vulgire, Bailey. Fig. 1336, No. 2. This is the com- mon garden Tomato of North America, distinguished by very heavy growth, greener foliage, much larger and plane Ivs., the comparative absence of stiflish as- cending shoots (in the mature plant), few fls., and larger, "smoother" (i. e., not furrowed) fr., which has numerous locules or cells. âThere is every reason for believing that the original Tomato had a 2-loculed (2-celled) fruit, but the course of amelioration has mul- tiplied the locules; it has also modified the foliage and the stature of the plant (see "Survival of the Unlike," Essays 4 and 30).
