*Fragaria viridis* Weston^[1]

Fragaria viridis, commonly called creamy strawberry^[2] or green strawberry^[3] is a species of strawberry native to Europe and central Asia. It has fruits with fine flavour. They have surprisingly little of the usual strawberry aroma, but a refreshing acidity, and sometimes ripen without becoming red. When they are plucked from the plant, the calyx will usually adhere and they will detach with a noticeable snapping sound.^[4]^[5]

All strawberries have a base haploid count of 7 chromosomes. Fragaria viridis is diploid, having 2 pairs of these chromosomes for a total of 14 chromosomes.^[4]^[5] Fragaria viridis is approximately 6,24 million years old.^[6]
