Some pepper I see are named with PI and then a #. Can anyone advise how I can decipher these sort of 'names'?
Pepper naming scheme
- Thread starter DrHavanger
- Start date
There is a site somewhere that you can put the Plant Identification number in and it will give you all the details of that plant and it's alternative name (if there is one). Like Hot pepper Tree PI 267729. I've desperately tried to find it but I can't, sorry.
This should explain things

What I saw was something similar Potawie to the http://www.ars-grin.gov/npgs/acc/acc_queries.html link on there but I think it was more chilli related, I'm going back a year ago a though and I've got a memory like a sieve. It was John F who said about the site.

Wow, nice link, who knew you didn't have to pay for seeds? lol, too bad they don't have the more exotic seeds
Yeah, on their forms they say something about for educational purposes only. do you know if they cross reffernce information put in? For example, if I put in a bs company name with a bs reason for request that looked legit, would they send them out with out a problem, or would they try to verify before the seeds were sent out?

Right, I guess we'll see if my Jedi Mind Trick still works over the internet

Type Capsicum as a search word. They have much, much more than "basic" varieties, but as Potawie said, good luck getting any seeds. It would be kind of like going to the White House and asking the Secret Service if they could leave their post at the President's side to come over for a beer. They are ruthless about not giving seeds and I believe investigate VERY thoroughly now.

Well.... turns out my Jedi Mind Trick still works.... got a package today 
I remember ording about 4 or 5 different types of peppers but in the package all I got was 100 seeds of a single variety of corn that originated in tobasco, MX???? 
Oh well, I guess it could be fun growing corn. Looks like I have to write some sort of essay about the plants at the end of the season 
This is going to be too much fun

Hi,
You can find virtually all the major germplasm numbering systems for the major seed banks in the chileman database. I have matched them up with the common pepper names where known. There are a few thousand :-)
Just type in PI, GRIF, BGH, CGN, CAP or AC into the database search facility:

Hope you find it useful
