 sicum annuum Linn., but some are probably referable to C. frutescens Linn. 

 There is little reason for considering that many of these forms ever occurred 

 in the Philippines: Capsicum baccatum Linn., C. bicolor Jacq., C. cerasi- 

 forme Willd., C. ceratocarpum Fingerh., C. conoides Mill., C. cordiforme
