Narrative
According to the donor (email of 12-19-2014) "This is from a very interesting accession that came up (presumably from a germinating seed) after my entire collection of this genus suddenly died of unknown cause(s) about 10 years ago. At the time I thought there must be something about the site here that was going to prevent me from growing this genus, but then this particular tree started to appear. It is always healthy looking, about 2.5m tall, flowers and fruits at different times throughout the year (but seldom has seeds). It is a really "nice" plant to work with. The seedlings are vigorous and THORNLESS and will readily take lemon buds. In a field experiment Eureka on this stock all collapsed and died soon after planting, but the trees had grown well in the nursery prior to this. I still have a Eureka on Micromelum in a pot in the nursery that must be 10 years old, it is still very small, has a horrible union, but does fruit a bit. It replicates CTV like crazy (based on the intensity of signal from direct tissue blotting). It also has some merit as an ornamental. A very interesting distant relative that deserves more research." (RR Krueger, 2015-03-03)

This accession did not establish. It was re-introduced (sort of) as RSD 2017001. (RR Krueger, 2017-10-15)
