There are some obvious mistakes: "Hautbois" has never been the French name of the musk strawberry, this name seems to have occurred in Great Britain first. It is doubtful that Le Chapiron, Chapiton, Capiton can be seen as cultivar names, more likely these have been former vernacular names of the species. Capron is the common French name for F. moschata and therefore cannot be a cultivar name. 'Capron royal' on the other hand is a valid cultivar name and a popular variety in continental Europe. The description of the special "musk flavor" is based on personal experiences and does not belong here. Maybe it would be useful to compare and/or translate foreign language articles (in this case the German one) to improve quality.87.185.244.207 (talk) 22:28, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

First named Fragaria cultivar
"This species was the first strawberry of any sort with a cultivar name, which was Le Chapiron (1576)." - This is not correct. I'd have to look up the source (it's a 1970s(?) Spanish-language paper on Chilean indigenous plant names - quite obscure, but still a RS), but the natives of Chiloe used entirely different names für the wild Fragaria chiloensis and the local domesticated large-fruited cultivar. The oldest written records are roughly the same age as the first attestation of 'Le Chapiron', but the Chilean names are older.

(Arguably, the Chilean name was not a "cultivar name" in the modern sense - i.e. a registered variety -, but neither was 'Le Chapiron'. Both names denoted a specific cultivated strain; the fact that one is French and the other Mapudungun does not really matter - what matters is the linguistic distinction between the wild plant and a particular cultivated form.) 2A02:8071:5BD0:D4C0:0:0:0:7BA0 (talk) 21:29, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
