	Absolutely, I will file a detailed report upon ripening.
	What do you consider "very hot"?  Would cayenne level
	heat be a disappointment from the chacoense?

	>BTW, according to the UN/FAO/IBPGR report on Capsicums 
	>(1983), C. chacoense crosses with C. annuum and C. chinense 
	>(and not any other species of Capsicum).

	Hmmm, conflicting information.  Who would've thunk it?  
	I have them segregated now, but will net off a few branches 
	if they turn out to be keepers.  Thanks for the info.
