The closest thing I can figure is 'Brazilian', but there are a few things a little off about it. Hard to tell if those off-traits are environmental, or due to being a mutated off-type from tissue culture. If I had to choose one I'd say a tissue culture off-type is to blame for some it's weirdness regardless of base cultivar. But without knowing its exact origin it's hard to pinpoint what the base cultivar is, but I'd still lean towards 'Brazilian' or a close relative.
