floricole 62 Posted January 26, 2021 This year, I won't grow many lot of work to do. Building my greenhouse and prepare a plot of land for the next season. I have a friend from Colombia who has been cultivating this pepper for two years at his place. He sent me some seeds as a gift. I think it is C. geminifolium but it does not have the spots in the flower. Maybe a variant? I will also grow some arolina Reaper Madame Jeanette X'catik to supply my sauce producers I wish you a good gardening season Pierre 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenzgyn 560 Posted January 26, 2021 I think it could a be a geminifolium, leaves disposition is really typical and in this pic the flower looks very similar: Happy gardening! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pr0digal_son 1,395 Posted January 27, 2021 C.geminifolium and C.lycianthoides are synonymous but we now wait for Gloria's new monograph. I suspect they will be different species and what is in your photo represents C.lycianthoides. I reserve the right to be wrong though. You may want to check with the moderating team to see if this post meets the rules. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

L0rdn40 3,629 Posted January 27, 2021 It certainly doesn't have the spots of C. geminifolium. It could be a c. benoistii? I have no idea how it is but it is described "Similar to Capsicum geminifolium (Dammer) Hunz. but differing in the length of the flowering pedicels, the shape of the corolla, and the presence of heterostylous flowers”. The flower should be analyzed better to understand if it is this species. However it looks like this flower but I don’t undstand which species it refers to. Spoiler More information can be found here, although I'm sure you already know this publication. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330432881_Four_new_species_of_Capsicum_Solanaceae_from_the_tropical_Andes_and_an_update_on_the_phylogeny_of_the_genus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lonewolf 18,125 Posted January 27, 2021 Hard to say if C.geminifolium or C.lycianthoides or other from few photos. I suspect that these species have a great variability in corolla colors. 1 hour ago, floricole said: I can't edit, modify my post.

I don't know if it's legal to export seeds of wild species from Colombia, so I don't have reasons to moderate this topic. Who exports seeds of wild species and who grows plants from wild seeds exported do it under his responsibility. In any case, this is a very interesting species to grow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

floricole 62 Posted January 27, 2021 My friend found a severely damaged roadside plant, he harvested a mature fruit and cultivated for two years. He has redistributed the seeds collected from the wild since. But he had to leave his village to go live in the city, now he can't cultivate it, which is why he sent me some seeds. Ex situ conservation hope it will grow and it will live for long 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not know of any official rules,just thought it would be a good idea to contact the moderating team because these topics are often sensitive. All for protection of this great forum. It seems like Lonewolf has addressed this so everything is fine. I am curious to see what Gloria Barboza brings to us in the new monograph. From what I understand it is close to being released. The plant in your photo resembles what she labeled C.lycianthoides in a recent publication. There were other mistakes in that also,so even botanists aren't always correct. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
