Got some if you want send me your Addy either via the list or direct and 
I'll pop som in the post...
I believe that mine are a true wild strain as they are small and potent, 
small pea size , have seen some the size of thai eggplants or marbles Oz 5c 
piece size in diameter...
Got mine from a American Indian lady working for Lupes nursery FM 1960 in 
NW Houston 6-7 yrs ago, from her personal plant that she had brought in to 
the nursery to overwinter.. I could and might write a book on my trials and 
tribulations in growing these .. I'll gladly give you some hints ... 
Basically all I try to grow now is tepins..
Cheers Luke in Oz
