Cabai (Capsicum annuum L.) have various in fruit shapes, fruit colors, fruit types, hot tasty and biochemical compound useful for fresh fruit, spicy and ornamental plant. Ornamental chili ideotype that are dwarf, high fruit set and various fruit colors. The aim this study to improve description characters in Ayesha IPB variety, both qualitative and quantitative characters. The testers are 4 released varieties and 5 the other genotypes in randomized complete block design for 4 replication in green house at Leuwikopo field reserch in Darmaga, Bogor. Ayesha IPB variety showed early flower in 13-16 days after planting, harvesting for commercial bucket in 65-70 days after planting, medium plant high that is 25.218 cm, medium canopy width that is 46-53 cm, good performance in canopy, round shape on fuit tip, various fuit colors that are  yellow green for young fruit, orange for intermediate fuit and orange red for mature of fruit. Those description characters could be ornamental chili for Ayesha, so it is important to protect the plant for ornamental plant commercialization.Key word : fruit, color, red,  round, orange, ornamental

The ornamental chili is valueable, but the commercial productivity still lower. It is important to evaluate ornamental chili as a new variety. The evaluation used randomized block completely design for genotypes Lembayung IPB, IPB.318092-1-4K-1-1 (G4K), IPB.318092-1-5K-1-1(G5K1), IPB.318092-1-5K-1-2 (G5K2), IPB.318320-1-3U-1-1(G3U), IPB.5.318-1-20-1(G120), IPB.5.318-3-1-1K-1 (G311K), and testers are Bara, Ungara IPB dan Seroja IPB. Lembayung IPB has intermediate habituate, middle hight plant, more number of fruits, stem purple color, purple of pedicle and flower, purple of young fruit color then changes into orange. Fruit colors suitable for ornamental chili plants.Keywords : color, flower, fruit, ornamental, purple

While investigating features of Quaternary displacement along the Great Sumatran fault zone in the Padang Highlands of Sumatra, Indonesia (Figure 1), the authors incidentally came across heretofore unreported evidence of significant surficial displacements along the fault during the Ms = 6~ earthquake of 28 June 1926 and the Ms = 7.6 earthquake of 9 June 1943. In both cases, eyewitness reports by long-term local residents allowed unequivocal documentation of the location and nature of the surficial fault displacements associated with the earthquakes, although it was only through the use of vertical aerial photographs to locate the active fault trace that it was possible to concentrate the questioning in promising areas. In every case, it was thus possible to locate the primary active fault trace to within a few hundred meters before commencing the search for local eyewitnesses.The 1700-km-long Great Sumatran fault has been recognized by geologists for many years as a profound regional tectonic feature, and it has usually been thought to be associated with oblique subduction along the Sunda arc (Fitch, 1972). Although its recent activity has been summarized by Katili and Hehuwat (1967), the detailed neotectonic trace has for the most part not been mapped or investigated. Katili and Hehuwat (1967) present inferential evidence for right-lateral displacement during several historic earthquakes, mainly based on geodetic observations (e.g., Muller, 1895) or reported directions of strong ground motion (e.g., Visser, 1927), but the present report is, to our knowledge, the first documentation of surficial fault rupture during individual historic earthquakes.Best documented is the fault rupture associated with the 1943 earthquake, which was described to us with remarkable memories by long-term residents in 13 selected localities along a 50-km-long segment of the fault near the town of Solok, between Danau (Lake) Singkarak and Danau Diatas (Figure 2). Since the rupture clearly extended into Danau Singkarak on the northwest, and it continued into an area of steep terrain and landsliding southeast of Danau Diatas, we estimate the total rupture length was at least 60 km. Ground cracking parallel to the fault was also described by local residents at least as far south as Surian, 15 km south of the southern border of Figure 2, but we judged this to be more likely related to landsliding than to true fault rupture. Vertical displacements of up to 2 m were described by many residents, varying in sense ("scissoring"), but virtually always in the same sense as that represented by the pre-existing Quaternary scarp. Particularly in the mid-section of the fault, numerous residents gave clear descriptions of strike-slip displacements (usually without prompting by us), and there was general agreement that the 1943 movement had been dextral and not sinistral-in keeping with the regional tectonic framework (Katili and Hehuwat, 1967;Hamilton, 1979). Although local residents .estimated strike-slip displacements in 1943 of up to 5 m, the large...
