There is a form of mutation where when undifferentiated cells are developing, division is arrested. This usually kills the proto-plant, but in some of the survivors the plant becomes a "super plant" with heavy foliage, many blooms, etc. There was something of a fad among pot growers lo! these many years past, but the ingredient - colchicine - used to treat the seeds is highly toxic and AFAIK super pot doesn't breed true, so you don't hear of it much any more. (At least, I don't.)

But such mutation can also occur naturally!

Time to name this plant.

Pretty common in my experience.
Last year, all of my Trinidad Scorpion Moruga Blend seedlings came up with three cotyledons. One of my buddies had all his yellow Scorpion sprout tricotyledons, as well. It's neat, but doesn't persist as far as I know.

Thank you Dennis and Josh for the input.

There's usually a thread each year where someone sees this for the first time. It's fun because they're different, but, there's no noticeable difference in the 'adult' plants.

I had one last year. I dont recall it being anything unusual as it grew up though. But it was interesting any way.

Those leaves are rather big for pepper.

I am very curious about this seedling. the Mother plant has grown in the middle of the Scorpion Moruga Blend Yellow so this seedling could be 100% crossed. The previous picture is a very close-up shot. Here is the normal shot.

The big leaves seedling is Rocoto De Seda the seed is from my plant. It is not crossed seedling and growing very fast.
