Chile azul silvestre

Lycianthes aff acapulcensis

Description:

Small, pepper looking capsule, but with a very unusual color. about 4.5 cm long, similar to a common spicy pepper the stack looks weak almost like a vine, for sure a member of the Solanaceae. we believe it is wild as we have not see something like this before.

Habitat:

understory, secondary grows.

Notes:

seen at 1100 meters over sea level.we plan to collect the seeds and grow some in a nursery, to propagate it, as this is the only plant know in the area

Buenas tardes soy de El Salvador y en mi patio ha nacido una planta muy parecida, como puedo hacer para identificar si es la misma de su fotografía

Thanks for following this post, a friend was able to collect seeds, I planted 3 of them but no positive results.

Wonder how the pod looked like inside,
