Variabilty is more likely to come from a hybrid as you get throwbacks, also if the seed germinates evenly indicates a hybrid but not necessarily so, it could just mean it's a species which readily germinates. Species often germinate at staggered times, it's a survival mechanism.
I don't see why someone in Surinam wouldn't have access to hybrids, it depends on how he gets his seed. If people living in the high inaccessible mountains of Morocco like they have done for hundreds of years have mobile phones and TV, anything is possible!
