I've googled beyond reason (they expect me to work - ? I assumed I was here
for the access to good internet connections, go figure) and I've found all
kinds of recipes, all kinds of news releases, the information that it
belongs to the capsicum family, the fact that the name "Peppadew" is a
trademark, found seeds for sale, but nowhere, nowhere, a reference to a
botanical name. (Even for a "For Rent" notice where the existance of a
Peppadew plant was a selling point...)

Do peppadews/pepperdews have a botanical name?
I'm assuming they're not just a selection of
Capsicum/Solanum.
