TPS.  Mostly round, a few obovate, a few elliptic. Mostly light yellows, some whites, a few reds, a few blues. Some yellows with blue or red eyes. A few red/yellow bicolors. Short to mid stolons. Late season, probably short day tuberizers. Short dormancy.  Low to fair berrying.

Initial seed increase 0.6g.  An Ochoa collection in the 1300s.  I suspect this were all actually collected in Peru, not Colombia.
