I think I might have been given the wrong name for this pepper (way
back when...).  Looking at some pics, the pepper I'm thinking of may
be the chiltepin.

Is there anyone in Central TX (say, around San Antonio, where I was)
that can tell me which variety it is that grows wild (not to mention,
"like wild" ... as in very well and very rapidly, as I recall) there?
THAT's the one I want.  :-)

Thanks,
