They are Capsicum annum - the most common species

habs are capsicum chinense (big misnomer since they originate from the
carribean way)
aji are capsicum baccatum
rocoto/manzanos are capsicum pubescens (the pubescens refers to the short
hairs that cover the leaves and is a very common taxonomical term ;-)

p.s. It's funny - but I think all the "uncommon" varieties are my
favourites.  They all seem to have a lot more flavour, yet still plenty of
heat.  aji and rocotos are just delicious.
