There is a species of chile named C. praetermissum -- no 'j', no 'n'.
Unfortunately, I have no photos online.
Here is some info to help identify it, though:
Capsicum praetermissum --
Plant size: often large, just like C. baccatum, to which praetermissum is
very very closely related, but small types (of both praetermissum and
baccatum) exist.
Leaves: usually solitary; ovate or elliptic (like all the common
domesticated chile species); usually more hairy than baccatum or
annuum/frutescens/chinense, though less so than C. pubescens.
Flowers: usually two, or one, at each node. (The flowers are beautiful).
Corolla: 5-lobed, purple or purple-edged with green or yellow spots.
Anthers: yellow
Calyx teeth (on fruit): 5
