Manzano, but is the same family.

I think they are distinctly different too.  Three times last year my Rogue 
friends sent me local Mexican market Manzanos that they found in Texas and 
California.  Excellent!  Very nice heat and taste.  The closest comparisons 
to Manzano that I know of are from Guatemala.  Pod shapes can vary even on 
the same plant at the same time and are helpful for identification, but 
other things need to be concidered too.

Back to lurking......
