| I've seen various peppers on the forum w/numbers for names. Is there a way to follow the lineage, or to categorize these plants? How would I find out about a certain named pepper? Just a little confused. I received one such plant in the seed exchange which I will be growing out, but I'm curious to find out. Thanks all. It is P1438638 |

| That's actually "PI 438638". And no, I don't know where the number came from, but there are Google hits on the PI number. |

| It's probably PI, not P1, fwiw...that would be a USDA seed bank naming convention (along with GRIF). Various seed banks/registers have their own naming conventions...mostly based on their storage key/number. To add to the confusion, some hobby breeders have their own naming conventions based on what plant (out of 100s/1000s) they selected the seed from and it's characteristics (H = hot, F = more flavorful, etc). So...that P1 may actually be a P1, not a PI. There is no universal naming scheme. |

| PI , Grif #'s aren't dictated by any growers. It's the Gov. classification system. CO is another along with CGN,CAP etc. http://www.cgn.wur.nl/applications/cgngenis/default.aspx |
Here is a link that might be useful: Gov. data base for PI #'s etc.
