As far as I understand there hasn’t yet been a way figured out how to tell the two apart, it isn’t even fact that the elongatus exists, just some thoughts conjured up by hobbyists. If you wish to talk more about it then I reckon you should give thebiggerthebetter, Viktor, a pm as he would know more about it.

I didn’t know that, I just read here that most limas sold are actually elongatus and that the main difference is size. Maybe I’ll take a good pic of mine and see what they think. Thanks!
