Capsicum rhomboideum Mexico, Peru and Venezuela Also known as Capsicum ciliatum has its distribution area in the south of Mexico to the North of Peru and Venezuela. C. ciliatum is one of the most controversial species because of their yellow flowers and the lack of sharpness and was removed as Witheringia ciliates from the genus. According to research by AT Hunziker, Barboza & Bianchetti in 2001, the plant was reclassified as C. rhomboideum. Non pungent, small red pods. Very unusual, yellow flower. Plant flowering.
