plant I have a plant that I did not plant.

[SpeakPolish]

It looks like a pepper or at least is in the nightshade family. The peppers I have are Thai Birds Eye, Habanero, Ghost, Cajun Belle.

Looks like a pepper...what'd you grow last year?

 

[SpeakPolish]

Absolutely nothing. I moved in 6 months ago and its my first year of gardening. Looks nothing like my other plants

 

[SpeakPolish]

Also there are two flower buds per node in some nodes.

Of all people, it had to be you that got the freebie.  You do see the irony in this, no?

Lol, how'd I get a freebie. Its probably a hybrid. Also at least if youre insulting me then at least help me in finding the pepper.

Wait it out

I'm not insulting you - I'm just pointing out irony.  Is a plant that you did not plant, not a freebie?  (are we not still enjoying the humor in that whole 'seed scammer' thing?)
 
I wish I could help you identify it, but you know as well as I, that there are infinity possible permutations for what that COULD be.   And really, a picture on the internet of a few closed up buds on a sickly looking plant, isn't much to go by.
 
Kool-Aid man gave you the best possible advice.  Well, almost.  Even better, would be to nurse that thing back to some kind of health, and make it beautiful.
 
Also, you shouldn't knock hybrids.  They often turn out to be some of the best, and inspire growers to make them NOT hybrids.  Receive with gratitude.

Do those sepals look like a pepper? I haven't grown a ton of varieties, but they look off from what I've seen.

Needs more time to develop, to make any kind of call. Maybe get some shade cloth on it, because it is a scorching summer this year, especially in the holy land of Texas. Be patient and you might have a gem there.

Yes, the only flower bud thats open looks like a Chinese or at least in an annum complex. But there are multiple flowers per node so its probably a chinese

If you moved in 6 months ago it could very well just be a volunteer from the previous tenant.

Impossible, the house was built just before I moved in. The house was finished building 7 months ago. Probably a hybrid which I wouldnt hate or a bird dropped some seeds from somewhere.

Well you are in Texas and you guys do have wild capsicum there. Chiltepins

That is very true but this has some Chinese traits like multiple flowers per node. I do realize there are super annum that have multiple flowers per node but I dont think wild peppers have that trait.

 

[Chili]

What leads you to believe it's a hybrid?

 

[SpeakPolish]

What leads you to believe it's a hybrid?

Its a Chinense, there arent wild Chinenses in my area. Also I never planted it, probably a fruit fell from my Thai and planted it.

 

[SpeakPolish]

Update. The flowers have 6 petals. The rest of my plants have 5 except for my habanero which has 6.

 

[SpeakPolish]

Update. The anther and filament arrangement is most similar to my Thai. My habanero has almost no filament. The unknown pepper and Thai have a lot of filament

 

[SpeakPolish]

The flowers keep falling of, also they usually have 6 to 7 petals. Also its actually two plants growing close together
