Hi folks ,
    here's a page that helps gardeners to diagnose general pepper plant
ailments. ( or for that matter , many other veggie crops )
http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/factsheets/Pepper_List.htm
they even have advice for treating seeds at
http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/PhotoPages/Peppers/PepperLeafSpot/LSPepper6.htm

    egads , another mile long URL ... oh well , check the pages out if
you're growing capsicums .
    on the subject ; my sole over wintering Brazilian Baccatum has
had ( for most of a year ) some kind of leaf affliction .
    symptoms are:  tan coloured , warty spotting on the leaf underside ,

between the veins ,bumpy , more concentrated closer to the leaf stem.
the fruits , last fall , were untouched and healthy despite the
leaf-thing.
no insects evident. in fact, this was my only aphid free plant last
year.
( though it found a few this spring ) the warts don't really seem to
affect the plant very much , other than a suspected low fruit set and
the overall appearance .
oh yes ... this is a potted plant.
    any suggestions? scale type insects ? beri-beri ? dog-bite ?

regards
peter g
