Greetings,
I'm guessing it would be a C. pubescens. Might be local name 'rocoto',
'locoto', 'manzano' etc. A thick-fleshed, hot species w/o overpowering
flavors that is perfect for salsa. Just by the sheerest coincidence I'm at
this very moment canning some salsa using manzanos for heat.
Bolivia, Ecuador and Guatamala all have great native pubes.
