Unknown Sweet
C. baccatum; pendent 2x2" red, bell-shaped fruits

Very rare, from Peru. (Jean Andrews 1984 listing is for a
Mexican C. frutescens, and her drawing in her book
is not the variety I received from MD ES H. Could the name
have gotten mixed?)

William Woys Weaver, Devon, PA
aka Pipperidge Pepper. Introduced by John Bartram (1760)
to Trenton, NJ, on the estate of Sir John St. Claire. From
there it was passed on to the Cooper Family of Cooper's Pt.
near Camden, NJ, and then to Mahlon Moon, a Quaker nurseryman
at Morrisville, Bucks Co., PA. These latter two families disseminated
seeds widely among early and mid-1800's gardeners in the Philadelphia
& Baltimore region. These seeds came from the collection
of Dr. George Thomas (1808-1887) via M.L. Thomas (1975).
