Lycopersicon fructu cerasi, luteo. Tourn. inst., 1719, 150. 
S. pomiferum seu Poma amoris fructu luteo minore. Weinm. phyt., 
1745, t. 935, fig. c. 
Yellow Cherry of American gardens. 
This form is spontaneous in the southern borders of Texas (Gray), and I 
have seen escapes in New Jersey. It is recorded as wild in Jamaica by 
Sloane and by Lunan, and is said by Dunal to be a native of Peru. It has 
retained its identity throughout its recorded culture, so far as can be deter- 
mined by pictures, and seems to have attained to varieties with larger fruit 
under the conditions induced by culture. The leading character is the 
globular form of the fruit, and not the size. 
Yar. b. Vulgar e. Leafless incised ; flowers often coalescent ; berry depressed, 
angular or ribbed, 3-many celled.
