Brazilian pepper identification

I have a friend in Brazil who is some-what of a chile-head and he tells me of a favorite pepper.

"I really like pimenta de bico ( I honestly don't know what they're called in enlgish, but they look like this http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/...biquinho-doce-cambuci-habanero-de-brinde--_JM
They're not hot, but the flavour is amazing. I use them in everything."

They seem to also be called Pimenta Biquinho. Does anyone know what they are called in english or anything else about them? I might just try having some seeds sent to me.

Its possibly "BGH 4200 (PI 441634)" http://www.thechileman.org/results.php?chile=1&find=bgh+4200&heat=Any&origin=Any&genus=Any **Where did it go????

Hi Potawie

Not very hot for a chinense, pretty seedy but quite nice smoked...but i try to remove most the seeds first.

A shortish plant, branches heavily and very productive...look gorgeous too, quite a dark green foliage, small leaves and you get quite a good display of different colors from this one. The pod shape is very unusual and quite waxy looking, pointy little candies with some moderate fire.

I consider it more of an ornamental than a plant for culinary uses. It does extremely well in pots even smallish 1.5 - 2 gallon pots are ok, I would prefer a 3-4 gallon. Could also make a nice sort of low border for a veggie patch.

Interesting plant.

All the best

Mine are growing exactly that way. Very beautiful and productive but very seedy pods and no heat. My brazilian friend loves them, I'll have to see how he uses them.

Some aphid damage

From what I read on another forum, the correct name is Chupetinha which means "small rubber nipple". I plan to grow several small rubber nipples next year.
