HELP WITH ID OF HONDURAN WILD PEPPER

ajijoe

ajijoe

hi to all
i wondering if you may be able to help
i know im flying a little blind here
i was recently given some wild harvested seed from Honduras, i do not have a pic because i extracted the seeds and no longer have the peppers, they were in bad shape when i got them also they would not have been of much help anyway

the peppers are small red and cone shaped about 3/8 in long, my friend called them "CHUNPEPE" he said there is a small round species they call by the same name, do you think it might be C. LANCEOLATUM? i kinda hope so, if you can help please let me know

thanks your friend Joe

Let's see, 3/8" = about 1cm...

Could it be this guy?

collected in Barrio Lempira, Esperanza Rio Mangua, Honduras.

or perhaps this guy?

PI 406847, C. frutescens, upright tabasco-type fruit, unknown SHU -

collected Lat. 14 deg 3 min 0 sec N, Long. 86 deg 52 min 0 sec W, here

I looked thru all the other Honduras Peppers listed in USDA/GRIN, but none of the others matched your morphological description (wrong color, wrong shape, or too big).
