PI 260567 (CGN 23260)

PI 260567 is a wild Capsicum baccatum var. baccatum accession collected in Bolivia. It is catalogued in the USDA Plant Introduction system as PI 260567 and in the Centre for Genetic Resources, the Netherlands, as CGN 23260. The accession is conserved for genetic preservation and research purposes.

Plants produce many small, soft fruits that mature to red and detach easily from the calyx when ripe, a trait typical of wild Capsicum types. Pods are not selected for uniform shape or size.

Heat levels are estimated at around 30,000 Scoville Heat Units. PI 260567 has been used in breeding and research programmes, including crosses with domesticated baccatum varieties, to study traits such as fruit detachment, texture, and inheritance patterns.
