None of the maked seeds I have got was marked as shishito, BUT!! I did raid the spice container of a Bolivian truckdriver of all the dried chillis, so anything is possible.First thing that popped into the head was shishito, which would fall into what Sir Canedog said was an annuum.
Yes it has a slight yellow tinge, but very light.Okay let us know how hot it is when you taste one finally
@Linyera
Did you notice anything odd, about the flower?
Does it have any yellow colors on the petals?
I had a good look at the flowers again. If they are clean without pollen and aphids they are actualy white. I took better pictures.Among the 5 domesticated/common species, diffused yellow spots on white flowers are found only on baccatum (except uncommonly on frutescens), so if there's yellow on the petals it would suggest it's a baccatum. The flower above doesn't look like a baccatum flower, but sometimes it's hard to tell in photos so it's not a bad thing to confirm. Yellowing/faint yellowing can suggest some other considerations, but those don't seem to otherwise fit your pictures.
This is Criolla Sella (given to me by a friend this year)Not sure if the Sella turns red or not upon ripening
Thanks. This was actualy the driver's personal spices. Probably just what he buys to spice up his food. We started talking about chillies and he gave me his mixed bag of dried chillies. Unfortunately I did not plant the seeds until this spring. Four years later.You mentioned these came off a Bolivian truck drivers haul, I went looking for what peppers Bolivia exports to Argentina but its all graphs and pie charts, but I did find 2 chiles, aji Colorado and Criolla Sella plants are exported to Argentina from Bolivia. the second being kinda rare. Both these plants are listed as baccatum.
Not sure if the Sella turns red or not upon ripening, and aji Colorado simply means red Chile as you all know. .
Not sure why I went down that road, but ya never know...
Cheers!
The green lines on the flowers is a bit like the green flowers of the Tabasco plants have but much less green.Among the 5 domesticated/common species, diffused yellow spots on white flowers are found only on baccatum (except uncommonly on frutescens), so if there's yellow on the petals it would suggest it's a baccatum.

Sure, that could suggest a cross of species, though I think there are annuum that have flowers with that shape and with slight greenish coloration so I think that's still possible, too. The green tinging on the flowers does sound like frutescens - or perhaps chinense - though the plan appears to be lacking certain other characteristics of those.. It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts about the fruits once they ripen.The green lines on the flowers is a bit like the green flowers of the Tabasco plants have but much less green.
Could it be a cross of some sort? Unintended.
Thanks. I am impatiantly waiting for the first fruits to ripen. The green ones are hot.
