Well, I've got a stumper for any botanical experts out there. At a recent
garden show I bought a fine plant labeled only as: Cap. Bac. 439370 that the
grower had gotten from the National Germplasm Center. Their records only
list it as a Capsicum baccatum (no var. listed) collected in Bulgaria (!).
So far the plant has 1/2 to 3/4 inch upward-facing round fruits with no
lobing. They're still immature but are currently pale yellow/green. I
haven't picked any yet, so I can't say about heat or flavor. Anybody got any
good guesses as to what this is?
