The flowers stand on a knee-shaped, bent flower stalk so that the flowers are rotated by 90 °. The calyx is set with five short calyx teeth. The crown is star-shaped and white with purple or brownish points in the crown throat and a greenish-colored corolla tube. The stylus is club-shaped and gradually widens from a narrow base to a widened tip.
The fruits are spherical, yellowish-green in color and divided into two chambers. They contain blackish seeds .
The number of chromosomes is 2n = 26.
Occurrence
The species is endemic to the south-east Brazilian states of Minas Gerais , Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo .
Systematics
Investigations of the karyotype suggest a closer relationship of the species with Capsicum campylopodium , Capsicum cornutum , Capsicum friburgense , Capsicum mirabile , Capsicum pereirae , Capsicum recurvatum and Capsicum schottianum . However, the results of the investigations are too ambiguous to be able to draw conclusions about more precise relationships within the group.
