slightly echinate varieties (gooseberry)
Explanation:
This is the botanical term. Echinate means thorny, slightly echinate means there are not so many thorns and bristles. See links for confirmation.

And one speaks of varieties when it comes to flora on the macro level. Strains relate to the molecular (read: microbiology) level. Viral strains for example.

echinate: bearing or covered with spines or bristles; prickly.
