Mata Frade, does anyone have any info??

[JungleRain]

Hello everyone,
Does anybody Have any information about the Mata Frade pepper,
I currently have what I believe to be two small plants growing now...(thanks to Daniel)

From what I have been able to gather, is that the seeds came from Roraima State (Northern Brazil, the Amazon region), and it grows upright, it's green when immature then matures to a violet color, measures + or - 1.5 cm in length and 0.5 cm in width and is very hot, it's suposed to be one very rare species of hot pepper... As yet I don't know what species it is!

Here's a few pics, not much to see yet!

Sorry don't have any info to offer Junglerain, but have to comment on how nice she looks.
I'm finding the Brazillian Chinenses to be very different and quite interesting.
Will have to post some piccies when she gets a bit older

Hello everyone,
here are a few pics,
sorry not much has happened as they are very slow growers

They are about 30cm tall now,
2 - 4 flower buds seem to be forming at each internode

I have never heard of them before, but they look like beautiful plants.

New to me too, but I just wanted to say they are beautiful!!

Ya, agreed, beautiful.

Reminds me of african violets almost.

here are a few new pics

the first flower, size of the flower is approx 4mm

the leaf seems to have very tiny spikes/thorns?

perhaps more like a sparse pubescens...I will try and take a clearer pic later!
