Description
Chilli Name: CAPSICUM CILIATUM (GRIF 16136)
Chilli Species: Ciliatum
Chilli Origin: Mexico
Chilli Heat: Unknown
A very unusual and scarce wild Capsicum species initially believed to be a sister to Capsicum Tovarii although after further study by Eshbaugh in 1988, it has since been omitted from Capsicum species list. Native to Southern Mexico and South America, this species has pubescent stems and leaves and yellow flowers. The tiny red fruits have no heat. Now a synonym for Witheringia ciliata although more recently it has been reclassified (yet again) as Capsicum rhomboideum.
