Hi C-H's,

I was talking to a Peruvian man at the weekend, who knew something of 
rocotos. He told me about the "wild" version of the plant which he 
says grows in the jungle areas of Peru/Brazil/Colombia. (This would 
put it near Iquitos, Peru. The Amazon River runs through the border 
area.) The fruit was described as (first finger curled across thumb) 
about the size of a small grape and exceptionally hot. Anyone have 
any more information about this? Does it sound like a C. cardenasii 
or C. eximium that you know of?
