Question Curling leaf with shark-like teeth and red stems?

The descriptions I've been reading about Great White Shark indicates that the leaves have a distinct shark-tooth like profile, and that the leaves "curl" as they're forming. What few pics I've found show some red in the stemmage as well.

All of these traits are exhibited by a plant I'm growing, but the seed was said to be something else.

The upward curl on the outside edge of the leaves is very pronounced; the sawteeth touch the leaf surface and in some teeth continue to curl. As though the leaf had 2 tubes running down the side. If I didn't see the leaves turn "flat" as they go, I'd swear it was some weird heat stress or sickness. They come out flat, curl at about 3/4", straighten at about 2"+

When seen from the side as the leaves age and uncurl, each sawtooth is almost a diamond rather than a triangle.

And of course, the red stemmage.

I will get pics this weekend when I borrow the digican again.

So my question(s) to you farmers is:

Do other strains besides Great White Shark exhibit these traits? Which ones?

i don't know about specific plants, but have experienced red stemmage from plants that were stressed or cold.

We have had Hawaiian Goddess which did that, Lil Karma has been known to have the same characteristics also..
Too many strains get it as the norm for that to be a sure indicator.

Strong as hell comes to mind as a real indicator. Devestating? almost.
