Hi,
here some confusing eggplants from Thailand.

My questions (internet just cunfused me more):

- The pea eggplant (Solanum torvum?) is very different from the one eaten in Java. Are they two separate species?

-The green eggplant (S. virginianum?) Is smaller than the S. virginianum i know, tastes differently and has no green stripes. Could it be a hybrid with pea eggplant?

-Could the purple eggplant be a hybrid between udumalped eggplant and pea or thai eggplant?

All the other eggplants i mentioned are here (if i id them right):

I grow many egg plants of Thai origin, so many that nobody eats including those in the video.
YES :The pea eggplant (Solanum torvum?)
NO: The green eggplant (S. virginianum?) they are Solanum melongena, actually they originate in SE Asia, so they are they precursors of the modern eggplant. Some F1 hybrids are very vigorous, fast growing and disease resistant.
If you need seeds to grow PM, but it's quite late now for your climate.

Triphal:
This needs to be discussed in the annual vegetable section. Thank you.

☺️No, thank you, im not growing them currently. Just fascinated with them since most of us in the west use only one eggplant variety.

They grow these types commercially here in the Coachella Valley in addition to the Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Indian and of course the American eggplant.
