I think is definitely a C. pubescens. But what to call it? Depending on country of origin it could have several local names including Rocoto. Only grown 3 varieties of "Rocoto" myself and the fruit shape is not the same as any of those. Other C. pubescens local names include Locoto, Locota, Locotito, Chile de caballo & Aji picante. The closest description that I can find is this one on the USDA site: http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/acc_search.pl?accid=Grif+9347&inactive=Yes Click on Observations. Sorry, no picture. I've seen a similar picture to yours before. Can't remember where. Doesn't show up on Reinhard Kraft's site or Reimer Seeds. Don't think it is on UK Chile-Head database either. But hey, you have one of the best tasting varieties on this earth. (IMHO) Thick flesh, great taste & to some of us one of the hottest peppers ever (due to the unique capsaicins in this species). This year I will be growing C. pubescens varieties from Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica & Ecuador.
