The species is differentiated by its prfusely branched habit, two flowered clusters, yellow green corolla, orange red conical fruit with dented surface when mature.

     We have purchased the plant from local nursery here in Fremont California last week, the plant is adjusting slowly. I will upload photographs of fruit when mature.

 Here is flower and branch.
