I have Dundicut (Dandicut) seeds from Pakistan. There's been 
some discussion about whether they should be classified as C. 
Annuum or C. Chinense. I got no response from Pakistan when I 
asked and was kind of inclined to think that they were Annuum 
because I hadn't seen any historical evidence that Chinense made 
it to that part of the world.

I finally dug out "Peppers of the World" by DeWitt and Bosland and 
looked at the flowers and their table on page 2 today:

1. Seeds tan						Go to 2.

2. Corolla without spots			Go to 3

3. Corolla greenish					Go to 5

5. Flowers two or more per node	C. Chinense

I also looked at Prairie Fire, a C. Annuum. The Corolla is white and 
the flowers are solitary and the filament is nonpurple.

Unless someone has some convincing evidence to the contrary, I'm 
going with Dundicut as C. Chinense. For any of you scientific types 
who want to experiment, contact me and I'll send you some seeds.

The fruits are quite small, about 2cm x 1cm and are erect. 
Immature color is green-purple. None have matured yet. Probably 
the closest image in Peppers of the World is USDA 238046 on 
page 68.
