My 'Ice Cream' has pink on the edges of the petioles, while my 'Raja Puri' shows no coloration (other than green, of course) in this area. Maybe it is a RP. I think Jarred grows them both. Maybe he can offer an opinion. I also think I remember seeing a recent photo by Jarred of his RP with what looked to be persistant male flowers on the bud. Your photo above looks like the plant is still in the process of setting fruit so maybe in a few more days if the male flowers continue to hang on rather than fall this may be another indication of it's identity as well.
