All of the true wild species of S.E. Brazil including C.carassense are shade plants. I'm not sure where you researched(phytokeys?),but I'll post a link to some nice photos and description from Claudio dal Zovo aka Lonewolf. https://www.pepperfriends.org/dbpf/capsicum-aff-mirabile_001.asp Edit...

Thanks! I have mental and physical scars from growing Solanums. Most are equipped with spikes and some,like this one,need a really long season. I wish I had a way to winter it for next year but it's not possible.

15-150 days can be expected with these depending on seed quality. Often times one will pop quickly and then the others a month later.

I have another one in the Aculeigerum group growing as well. The name is S.glaucescens and it has a similar habit but somewhat different. It just started setting pods after 100s upon 100s of dropped flowers. Here are some current photos of shit quality. After I get it staked up securely I...

I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. I have seen friends robbed by certain individuals. The people exporting seeds out of Brazil cannot properly identify them. Even waiting for the flower is not going to help you identify this plant because C.schottianum has populations with flowers that have...

I've taken away from this thread enough and will leave that up to you to figure out. You seem to be on the right trail.

6m currently. Literature says it grows to 15m but I don't have the ability or climate to take it to those heights. It is dropping all it's flowers and I fear it will not fruit with only 40 frost free days left.

Nobody is attacking your character or saying you are selling seeds. Who cares if you did sell them? You have been duped by a Brazilian that does not even know the difference between Aureliana and Capsicum. He could not even identify C.flexuosum!!! It will benefit all growers interested in wilds...

I don't understand this? Obviously you had success germinating C.schottianum? That is where I have taken issue with your post. It's not C.schottianum! I don't care about the other plants or the snake oil salesman you received them from. You are aware of seed shops in Europe that are selling...

I will not dispute that. That does not change the fact that what you have posted is not C.schottianum.And nobody is naive enough to think that this influx of misidentified Brazilian species and C.praetermissum like "ariely" have spawned from Central Italy. Many of the plants you have...

This is not C.shottianum. The calyces on that species have no teeth in all stages of development. The names on some of the plants in this thread come from one of many charlatans in S.E. Brazil. They are made up names and said individuals have sold 2 or 3 species as 7 or 8. If you received these...

In herbaria this plant would be listed as C.frutescens. That I.D. would come from a dried,pressed branch that would lose some of the characteristics that seperate species. This is very heavily influenced by C.frutescens and it may well be pure. I still think that there is annuum in it and if one...

  The tallest and fuzziest C.praetermissum I have grown to date. Nice job navigating those triple teens and keeping your plants moving along.I don't have anything too interesting to add,just ones I have posted photos of on this forum a million times. This year I'm building up some seed stock for...

Che provincia,Fab?

Correct. I tried to get a clear shot of the green spotting in the throat of the flower but failed miserably. Sometimes it's very pronounced. Something that a lot of people miss because they are drawn to the vivid yellow of the outer flower.

First time growing this interesting one. Would love if someone else was able to share their experience or photos.                     

Just a few flower shots.....            

Not uncommon to see baccatum flowers with purple tips and pistils.

Don't worry about your plants. Rig up a fishing rod with a Brood X lure or fly and have a blast. Are you in SC Pennsylvania or Maryland?

The flex is in a 15 and the praetermissum was transplanted into 7 gallons right before that photo. I'll get some new shots in a couple weeks when it settles in. The flowers have the standard look like Flibu but this seems like it will be a large bush. Flibu has always been like a sappling for me.
