Conservation
In 1999, Native Seeds/SEARCH and the United States Forest Service established the 2,500-acre (1,000 ha) Wild Chile Botanical Area in the Coronado National Forest. Located in the Rock Corral Canyon near Tumacacori, Arizona, the preserve protects a large C. a. var. glabriusculum population for study and as a genetic reserve.
