Thick calyx base and lobes. Protects stem end scar unusually well. Good resistance to cracking indicated in the field at Corvallis, 1950. Selected in Hawaii from a comlplex lineage involving two species - Lycopersicon hirsutum and L. esculentum. Backcrossed to L. eculentum in Hawaii and further selected for wide calyx. Vine very bushy, fruits about 1 1/2" in diameter, quality poor. Inheritance of wide calyx character not known - being worked on at Oregon State College by graduate student, Lysle Parsons. Definitely different character from macrocalyx. Seed available from Oregon State College or University of Hawaii - preferably Hawaii's HES4402, or Oregon's OSC12.
