Species of South-East Brazilian Wild Capsicum

Capsicum recurvatum Witas.

Some populations growing South of São Paulo could be classified as C.recurvatum, e.g. C.sp.1 LBB1520 and LBB1521 in the Park Botelho and another population along the Estrada da Graciosa.

Flower has greenish/yellowish spots; calyx bears 5-9 teeth curved backward, sometimes reduced or barely visible.

A population found at Paranapiacaba, inside the Reserve and in the neighbourhood, has similar features.
