G'day Troopers,

OK, now I am really stumped. I have seen my Chile as representatives of
several different species now and I am soooo confused. If only there was
some flowers still present on the plant, but here in Melbourne, Oz, I am all
out of luck.

Just to rehash the picture of one of my pods is located
http://web.one.net.au/~zymurgian/chile/chile.jpg .

One site reckons it is a version of frutescens in a pictures from Texas A&M,
but also in the main "name" database it is referred to as "bi-bell"
(baccatum) , then further on as discussed earlier as "bishop's crown with
species notation. http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~gcaselton/chile/variety.html

Does anyone really know what this type of chile is. One point though, when
cut there is no real fruity smell like you would  get from chinense
varieties usually, so it might in fact rule that one out. Anyone anyone.....

As always, thanks.
