Since this appears to be a new distinct PL form of Stick that you first found, you should have the honor of naming it so as not to confuse the new PL form with the original Stick variety. My suggestion for a new name(s) for the PL form would be “Potato Stick “, Or "Bully's Potato Stick “ thus showing it is PL and whose parent variety was Stick where the mutation occurred. What do you think of the suggested names?? It's your call on the new name as you were the one who first found it “old man” Smile).
Someone over at Gweb referred to it as Curless Curl when it was still small and the name kind of stuck in my head.
too bad I often thought if I had the opportunity to name something new that I would have it rhyme with 'orange'

You know, how people are always saying nothing rhymes with orange..."not true!" you could say "there's that new tomato that Bully discovered....lorange".....it's either that or I'll call it 'murple'

Another good name I heard was 'Teflon'...because it's 'not stick'

If you sent the email I didn't get it.

Bully,
To me, your Mutant Stick has Tobacco plant-
like features. As of course, they are related. What
type of fruits does it serve up?....JJ61
(Basil like as well. Are they related?)

Bully,

Whatever happened with this plant? It looks very unusual, and the way I see it, could have some interesting breeding potential.

oh, and "Teflon"! LOL, that's a good one. I'd go with that for a name.

Bully, that mutant Stick looks like The Simpsons "Tomacco" in-the flesh.

Bully, the Mutant Stick seeds all produced regular looking potato leaf plants - I've got one growing, it is over 6 feet tall and has lots of golf ball sized round fruit that should soon ripen. Not sure if it indicates that Stickless Stick was a cross between Stick and a potato leaf variety?
