The fruits derive their name from their characteristic shape, reminiscent of a priest's hat, which can be triangular or have a protrusion. As these are landraces, they are not standardized and possess high variability of morphological traits.
Different samples within this group vary significantly in fruit weight, flesh and skin thickness, peduncle diameter, and seed weight. Clear data on maturity, vine growth, and disease resistance are absent, as these indicators depend on the specific local biotype.
