Anyway, good luck identifing this one, it's a nice plant...
Yeah I have some dwarf brazilians and noticed the similarity as well. I'm pretty sure it isn't a dwarf brazilian though - a few years back my sister-in-law brought us fruit from one of these and I don't recall it being much like a brazilian - they were sweeter and without the acidic tang if I recall. It was a while back, so I could be remembering wrong though.
