Yes, mature, healthy seeds of Capsicum pubescens are black, or sometimes
dark brown. Among other differences from most other chile seeds, they are
thicker, too.

In my experience, they germinate, sprout, and grow in the same manner and
timeframe, and under the same conditions, as "normal" chile seeds.
However, C. pubescens plants do not like high temperatures, neither while
babies nor ever later in their lives, so don't go overboard on heating your
seed pots trying to speed them up, like we often do with "normal" chiles.
