Here's a paragraph from "Peppers of the World, an Identification Guide" by Dave DeWitt and Paul Bosland: "Rocotos and Canarios, Capsicum Pubescens": "It is grown today in the Andes from Chile to Columbia, mostly in small family plots. It is also cultivated in highland areas of Central America and Mexico. The common name for this species in South America is Rocoto or Locoto. In Mexico it is also called Chile Manzano (apple pepper), and Chile Peron (pear pepper), allusions to it's fruit ike shapes. In some parts of Mexico and Guatemala, Pubescens is called Chile Caballo (horse pepper). Yellow C. Pubescens is called Canarios or canaries, in parts of Mexico, particularly Oxaca, and some parts of Central America." It's an excellent book and it's available from Amazon.com. If you order it from Amazon.com through my bookstore, I will receive a pittance:-) Dave Anderson TLCC http://www.tough-love.com
