Capsicum ciliatum or rhomboideum

[Nightshade]

Obviously one species but had a name change. Do you still use ciliatum or do you use rhomboideum reason why I'm asking is because I have seen numerous people use ciliatum instead of rhomboideum. What is your take on the matter obviously not terribly important but a good conversation none the less.

Honestly I like the name ciliatum better but I think it's just proper to use rhomboideum

Was actually just looking through one of your past grows didn't make it to the end did yours ever produce?

I would use C. Rhomboideum instead of the other name... 

 

[Pr0digal_son]

Currently C.rhomboideum.

i use C.rhomboideum may publications recognize it as rhomboideum , i am still not convinced it is a chili, but diffidently one of the most beautiful flowers

Aww this is another very controversial aspect of this species

 

[PepperLover]

lol well it is tasteless,  flower is berry like, growing habit is raspberry rather than capsicum.
do you see it as a chili pepper Rob? 

 

[Nightshade]

I have heard it does have a taste but as to whether or not it is a pepper I will make finally conclusion to that after I have done my own growing and research which should be done by the end of next year.

 

[PepperLover]

you just like it bcz it is wild

 

[Nightshade]

From what I have seen as of now the flowers I have seen dont seem to be that of a capsicum.
This is true Judy I do love growing them wilds

 

[PepperLover]

yes it is the only yellow flowered "Capsicum" if it was one.
it is very interesting for sure. tough plant lives under harsh conditions unlike most of other wilds (i.e. Tovarii, Galapagoense ) which they are sensitive to growing conditions, rhomboideum actually grows faster and lives longer 

 

[Nightshade]

I plan on keeping the ones that I will be growing alive for at least 5 years probably more I really love the look of this plant pepper or not

If your getting seeds from the USDA Grin seed bank you would have to use C. Rhomboideum, at one point it was moved to a sub class under a different name completely, I Like the old name ciliatum, but I will leave it up to the experts to decide. It is a very unusual species the yellow flowers are very different and even though the berries, which they look more like than a pods have very little taste.  I don't know of any other capscium species that has yellow flowers like it and the woody stems makes it unlike most capsciums.

 

[Nightshade]

It is definitely an interestig plant and no I will be getting cuttings

 

[Portuge]

Hmm Where can i get some clones at? Or are you taking em off another a mother plant?
