Pepper id opinion

[onefowl1]

This is a pepper my mom has that we got from a friend of hers that came from seed from their family back in Mexico I believe. No ripe pods yet but the green one I ate had good heat little flavor lots of seed and the skin was stiff like the hulls of popcorn. I am thinking it is not a good fresh eating type but a powder type as for use.

Thanks pepperlover that is where I was thinking it belonged (C. frutescens) but as I stated earlier in another ID post chilitepin is a way to common name for many different peppers. That is what they called it but it is also what they called most of the little pea pod peppers they had.

It is an annuum from growth characteristics and looks like a tepin to me. Chile is the right size for a tepin.

I do see some pics on the net that resemble it but please explain better what you mean in growth characteristics of annuum? Most of the pepper species share the same characteristics with only a few being specific to a single species.

Thanks for explaining why I had not seen this before.

Good chart but it doesn't seem to explain purple flowered annuums
