C. annuum is a species. Cayenne is a variety.
C. annuum cv. Jalapeno
Now in C. annuum and almost every other species except C.
pubescens there is an erect growing variety. C. annuum var.
glabriusculum as an example. This one is the birds eye. C.
frutescens cv. tabasco is another and finally C. baccatum var.
baccatum, the bird aji.
Where "var" indicates a wild variety and "cv" a cultivated
variety.
Checking my home PCGrin, search erect growth fruitpos, I found
328 accessions in the data base. I am not going to post the
list as most refer to a USDA number and are not tied to a common
name, although it is possible to extract it, if available.
It is possible to download the database and PCGrin program. It
is not a windows program ;-) and requires some getting used to.
There are no pictures.

And I'll add http://www.ars-grin.gov/
Find the capcicum database and use the online search
family : solanceae
genus : capsicum
species : a search refinement if required "annuum" for example.
It is possible to search on any of the cataloged fields
"fruitpos" is just one of them. View the records of one example
to see what fields are available. Also requires getting used
to. Sorry if there are any errors it is some time since I last
used the online version.
