Unkown Seed/Pepper

[rkempston]

I know its almost impossible to tell what a pepper will be from seedlings but i recently received "Bisbas" Seeds as extra goodies from Pepperlover.com. When specifically looking on google i really didnt find much information on them and when i searched "Bisbas" on Pepperlover.com i didnt find a match. Anyone have an ideas?

Bisbas is Arabic for chili pepper

Pardon my ignorance. But would that be just a "Chili pepper" (Like an actual pepper name) or would it just be a vague description of some kind of chili pepper in the Capsicum Annuum Family?

I think Judy is on these forums, maybe find her and just ask her via a private message. It might be their own hybrid perhaps?

I sent her a massage via her website a few days ago. I had just thought someone may have gotten these "freebies" before.

The seed bank in Waginingen has three peppers with the name Bisbas, all from Yemen, CGN22875, CGN20503 and CGN23287.  http://cgngenis.wur.nl/ToonResultaten.aspx?ID=vjl4xab0
 
So all three are tall annuums, with small, narrow, pendant red peppers. Google was pretty unhelpful with all three, so my guess is they are fairly rare. Not too shabby for a "freebie"!

Just just wrote me back that the bisbas is a Yemeni pepper that hot and dry and good for powders.
