Actually a C.frutescens / Chinense cross, this plant is anything but a typical C. frutescens in terms of both appearance and flavour. The pods have Chinense characteristics being pungent and wrinkled. They look very much like the similarly named Aribibi Gusano (the Caterpillar pepper). They mature from white to yellow. The seeds are much sought after although very hard to get.

This multicolor Bolivian pepper, which is usually about half an inch long when harvested, is typically sold as an ornamental, but when added raw to salsas or as a finishing touch to a cooked dish, it lends lively color and a strong jolt of clean heat, if not a particularly complex flavor.

Aji Dulce has the same shape, size, color and aroma of Habanero, with only a trace of heat. The fruits are highly aromatic and the flavor is unusual and complex, with overtones of black pepper and coriander, and undertones of other spicy flavors. The pods are tapered and mature from pale green to orange and then to red. The NuMex Sauve developed by NMSU is closely related.
