ABSTRACT:
The novel pepper variety of the genus and species Capsicum chinense Jacq. described here was the product of an organized breeding program using forms of this species collected by us during several years in South America and bred via a pedigree breeding program for adaptation to growth in the northeastern U.S. It is characterized by a spreading habit, small light green elliptic leaves, small regularly 5-merous flowers with white corolla having no corolla throat markings, purple anthers, a style that exceeds the anther, two or more flowers per leaf axil, self compatibility, a low level of capsaicin so it is not a hot pepper, green pendant fruits becoming red, yellow, or orange upon maturity and having a rounded base, a usually pointed apex, and thin carpels. Fruits are about 5 cm. long and 2.5 cm wide, weigh approximately 3 grams each, and have 2-4 locules. Pedicels are long, curved, and slender. Seeds are yellow, around 3 mm. in diameter, and 1000 seeds weigh about 3 grams. The fruits contrast with those of the only other member of this species on the market in the United States, Habanero, in having the low capsaicin level so that the new variety is a mildly pungent pepper.
