Actually, reichenbachii/suaveolens is in EofE's background, although
probably so dilute as to have essentially no discernable effect.
In position 9-254 and 10-506 (schema: 2-2 pollen parent, 4-3 maternal pod
parent, and so on...), reichenbachii/suaveolens appears in EARL OF ESSEX's
pedigree.
But then... if we credit mesopotamica in the 18th to 22nd remove, with
passing a trait to tenderness, how can we deny a ninth generation ancestor
discernable effect?
