| Unexpected pepper plant variety in amongst my new plants.
I was expecting Scotch Bonnet or a similar habenero, but this flower doesn't match up with any of the Bonnet family. I have tried the John Fiedler site which has lots of pics, but I am still having trouble identifying this species. Anyone know what this is?

| Yes you are right. I am pretty certain it is a C. Chinense. But it's the variety of the species that leaves me puzzled. |

| Strange pedals look like a c. Chinese but anthers look like c. Frutescens wonder if its a Frutescens with an additional pedal? Do you have any more flowers to see if the rest have 4 pedals or do they all have 5? |

| Looks just like the flowers on my Tabasco. |

| With crosses, I'm not sure how accurate this is, but, there is a table in the FAQ. I don't think you can tell much more than species based on flower alone. |

| It is very possible that this is an Aji Dulce plant, member of the C. Chinense family. However, it could be something else, but that seems the closest I have found so far. I used a flash camera, so the anthers seem brighter than in natural light. I used this website to analyze: There is another flower and it is identical - 5 petals. |
