Is this Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium ?:
I photographed this wild tomato plant with very tiny yellow flowers n
equally tiny tomatoes at Pune, dated- 14 th Sep 11.
I m little confuse..is it  Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium or Lycopersicon esculentum ?

I hope Solanum lycopersicon var. cerasiforme
Solanum pimpinelliforme has inflorescence much longer than leaves
