I'm looking for the wild species Capsicum flexuosum. I've been wanting to use it in crosses for several years but have not been able to find viable seeds. Last year I ordered two accessions from the USDA's germplasm collection and they sent empty non-viable seeds. I'm hoping you guys can introduce me to this cool plant.
I have a few curiosities to trade (see below) and I will happily send a SASBE. I can also paypal/venmo at my discretion.
Peppers for trade:

Peppers for trade:
- 2 accessions of wild C. pubescens from the high-altitudes of Ecuador. The fruit are mild and juicy, about 1 to 1.5" long. Purple flowers and black seeds.
- C. baccatum 'Bishops Crown'
- Aji Charapita
- Aji Dulce
- Aji Limon
- El Jefe F1
- Jalafuego F1
- Black Pearl (2 seeds available)
- Zavory Habenero (mild flavor)
- Trinidad Perfume
- Yellow Brazillian Starfish F5
- 'Habanada' (i think it carries a capsaicin knockout gene)
- 'Numex Suave Orange'
- 'Violet Sparkle'
- A ton of C. chinense and C. annuum material that tends to be mild, no super-hots here.
- Tomatoes! including 'Douchoua Pepper' which has almost no gel, it's a tomato that wants to be a bell pepper. I also have 'Lucid Gem' and 'Tappy's Heritage Tomato' which have been excellent in my very hot and humid climate.
- Groundcherries! 'Aunt Molly' and a few random varieties
- Strawberries! I went through a phase and now have 12 varieties of seed-propagated strawberries. I don't have tons of seed, but can share 5-10 of a couple to get you going.
- Flowers for Pollinators! SE-US only I guess - Florida coreopsis, blanket flower, and milkweed.
