Editorial Note: This entry derives from a single 1900 source with minimal detail. The variety's origin is entirely undocumented. The description provides foundational identification markers (medium roundish oblate fruit, greenish-yellow with sun-red shading, mild sweet white flesh) but lacks specifics on cavity, calyx, basin, skin texture, dots, core structure, stem, and detailed tree characteristics (bark, twigs, buds, leaf morphology) that would strengthen identification. Additional period sources or specimen examination would be needed to expand this entry.
