Just getting this started so I can get a url.
I will post more about this in a couple of days.
Happy New Year, 2021!

Thanks for those seeds ‘Dogie! As it turns out, the plants
will spend the winter along with the galapagas in the
garage under lights. They have been heavily trimmed
and pruned to remain in the 2-liter pots.
Yes they are from the plant I grew last year from your
seeds. All the flowers on that plant look like that. The
other plant has the more bell-shaped flowers. The extreme
heat caused lots of flower drop, but hopefully a return
to more seasonal weather will encourage some pod-setting.
Further thought - those flowers opened in the hot weather.
I wonder if that had anything to do with it? Will be interesting
to see how they do in the cooler weather. Will keep you posted.
Should I dry and press a branch?
Very nice! Am waiting for pods to start turning on my bush…My Tolito
they are a bit more oblong than yours.
I assure you that schottianun was already present, the seeds you will not find distributed by seed banks, on facebook you will find only good scams, the seeds you will find if you have good knowledge, if you have the right knowledge, people grow it, cultivate schottianum and other rare capsicum, not they say they have, they don't show pictures but they have.No you did not see c.schottianum in Italy in 2010..i grew it myself as did many it was later classed as Not Schottianum 19670 back in 2007 and has been since here's the article back in 2010.
This is reality
No reality and there not schottiniaum we are just trying to help people not to buy seeds at crazy prices and they are not what they say they are,your not listening and I notice your on the same Facebook groups as they are I think I'll let people draw there own conclusions.

A few shots from my deck peppers - and my inaugural image post on the new site.
Rhomboideum
Rhomb Flower
Flexuosum
Galapagoense
Galap Flower
Purple Flower Chacoense
PFC Flower
Tovarii - I really like this picture, but like a bonehead I didn't check my foreground. I've always found the branch lignification and leaves on tovarii to be cool.

CGN Cardenasii setting in an iso bag. I wanted to bag an entire plant of the CGN to get plenty of seeds (I have a large USDA Card isolated at another location), but I didn't get around to making a plant-sized bag in time for this plant. Fortunately, I have another CGN Card that's trailing this one and I might be able to get it bagged in time.

friend maybe you didn't understand me, i don't say buy seeds at crazy prices, buy seeds at crazy prices, i say don't buy those seeds, i took a lot of rip-offs on bought seeds, my fault i trusted too much, in some cases instead I have had positive experiences, I only say that those seeds you can find if you know the right people, you will find me on facebook and on the various forums, whoever knows me knows that I do not ask for money and those who have exchanged have always found seriousness, this is enough for me
I don't understand this? Obviously you had success germinating C.schottianum? That is where I have taken issue with your post. It's not C.schottianum! I don't care about the other plants or the snake oil salesman you received them from.
You are aware of seed shops in Europe that are selling misidentified wilds for 30€ per 10 seeds. This is why it is important to properly I.D. species. To protect communities of growers.
Would you believe Lonewolf? Gloria? We can get others to identify if you don't trust me.
Nobody is attacking your character or saying you are selling seeds. Who cares if you did sell them? You have been duped by a Brazilian that does not even know the difference between Aureliana and Capsicum. He could not even identify C.flexuosum!!! It will benefit all growers interested in wilds to properly I.D. plants.
I have to ask... Is this Brazilian a certain Clayton?
maybe I misinterpreted your message, I apologize for this, I do not speak English, understanding English with google translator is not easy, I agree, I can not guarantee that schottianum is him, I have also received other species, I may have been confused , or the species not be those, who sent me the seeds knows the capsicum well, not only Brazilian species, I trusted
I can tell you that this plant is a pepper that I have never grown born from tiny black seeds, I know you have the knowledge to identify them, I will wait for the flowers, it will be easier to understand what they are
Think you no exactly what the flowers will look like and what you don't realise is that ProDigal_Son,myself and others who have grown wilds over many years where here to help people like yourself and others in the community being ripped of with wilds where small groups of people are there to exploit others with high priced seeds of plants that are not available and of dubious origin,it's being going on for years and where's the Money to be made there's always someone waiting to exploit.
your knowledge of wild lands is important to determine the name of these peppers, it is also important to inform people about safe purchases, I know the phenomenon of exploitation of people who take advantage of poverty 'to collect seeds to resell at very high prices , several names are known for this.
I've taken away from this thread enough and will leave that up to you to figure out. You seem to be on the right trail.
I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. I have seen friends robbed by certain individuals. The people exporting seeds out of Brazil cannot properly identify them.
Even waiting for the flower is not going to help you identify this plant because C.schottianum has populations with flowers that have red markings also. The teeth on the calyces are diagnostic. C.schottianum does not have any teeth at any stage of development. I would suggest you talk to Lonewolf as he is the expert and also speaks Italian.
This is a red pequin. Seed labeled ‘Pequin Chihuahua’.
From the 2019 seed train. Would like to know more
about this one.
Seems most of the pequins I’ve grown have this upright
tree-like growth habit. This specimen is in a 3-gallon pot,
and has spent its life under a Japanese Maple, but seems
to tolerate sun well.

So many sweet looking peppers! I was just reading up on Capsicum carassense today.. Love the foliage on it! Anyone ever grown that one? Is that shine typical of the leaves, or are they just wet?
How many shade-loving Capsicum are there?
How many shade-loving Capsicum are there?
All of the true wild species of S.E. Brazil including C.carassense are shade plants. I'm not sure where you researched(phytokeys?),but I'll post a link to some nice photos and description from Claudio dal Zovo aka Lonewolf.
<i>Capsicum carassense</i>
Database specie e varietà di Capsicum (peperoncino piccante)
Edit: I see you did read the description from phytokeys. You will enjoy the link I shared.
