Baker Creek has these seeds, this is their description: "A large, round, flat variety from the Kingdom of Cambodia. We collected this variety two years ago when we were touring this war-torn south east Asian country. Attractive fruit are pale green with dark-green stripes and are lightly ribbed, a very unique color pattern for a large variety. We are proud to be among the first companies to offer varieties from Cambodia, a country with a delicious cuisine that is in danger of being lost. A rare culinary treasure that is great in Asian recipes."
