Its French name ''hautbois'' strawberry is anglicised as '''hautboy strawberry'''.<br /> <br /> Musk strawberries grow wild to a limited extent in the forests of Central Europe, north into Scandinavia, and east into Russia. It was the first strawberry of any sort with a [[cultivar]] name, which was ''Le Chapiron'' (1576).&lt;ref name=Reich&gt;{{cite book | title = Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden | first = Lee | last= Reich | publisher = Timber Press | isbn = 088192623X | year = 2004 | pages = p. 34-35}}&lt;/ref&gt; By 1591, the cultivar was called ''Chapiton'', then later ''Capiton''. It was mentioned by Quintinye, gardener to [[Louis XIV]], as ''Capron'' in 1672.&lt;ref name=Reich/&gt; <br /> <br /> It is used in the gourmet community for its intense aroma and superb flavour, which has been compared to a mixture of regular strawberry, [[raspberry]] and [[pineapple]].&lt;ref name=Reich/&gt; The berries are small and round. They are hardy plants that can survive in many weather conditions and are cultivated commercially on a small scale, particularly in [[Italy]]. Popular cultivated varieties include Capron and ''Profumata di Tortona''.<br /> <br /> ==Polyploidy==<br /> All strawberries have a base [[haploid]] count of 7 [[chromosomes]]. ''Fragaria moschata'' is [[polyploidy|hexaploid]], having six pairs of these chromosomes for a total of 42 chromosomes.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?257 ''F. moschata'' information from GRIN Taxonomy Database]<br /> *[http://linnaeus.nrm.se/flora/di/rosa/fraga/fragmos.html Den Virtuella Floran] Swedish site with good photos of ''F. moschata''.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Fragaria]]<br /> [[category:Accessory fruit]]<br /> <br /> {{fruit-stub}}</div>
