Dan,the C. Lanceolatum as NECM wrote belongs to the Wild Species & as are those on the list he provided.Some more info., can be found at Fatalli.net.
The seeds take many weeks to germinate,so much patience ,fresh seeds& luck are what's prime to their G&D IMHO

This particular one has no heat & the taste is bitterish..Its a pretty plant with interesting leaves, which I can't say of most Pepper Plants I grow LOL,mine is still with some green peppers so as soon as they all ripen,I will trim the plant & let it rest for a while..I have a smaller one along with some cuttings that rooted that I planted,& I will try for a bonsai..I copied this photo from fatalli to show what one looks like,me thinks it's so nice,not pepper-likeish

History
The Guatemala Expedition of the scientist Paul C. Standley from 1938 to 1939 provides the most comprehensive description of C. lanceolatum and the habitats where plants of the species were found. The plant was very close to extinction (It actually was thought to be extinct) until the rediscovery of this species in 1991 more then 50 years later under the lead of Paul W. Bosland who organized another expedition to Guatemala. All of Standley described habitats were visited. A resettlement of C. lanceolatum could, after an investigation of the locations, not be established.
The above HX.was copied from the fatalli site which has more & should this
**spark**your interest in the "Wild Species" ..let me know down the line,I can help you with some lance seeds...Wilds fascinate me,some are more difficult than others to get going/growing,but that that's part of the beauty/challenge of the WWW
