My New Zealand handbook of fruit growing has only F sellowiana, though
it mentions four varieties, two old ones and a couple of newer ones -
Apollo and Gemenii (Apollo is said to be self-fertile, so one does not
need to accomodate two trees). Personally, I am inclined to think
someone has been doing some re-naming.

If you could give me details about the  producer of the catalogue, I may
be able to contact the firm and find out some more for you.
