Rocoto canario is probably the most famous of the C. pubescens species. Its history lies in the Andes region of Peru where it is also known as 'Manzano', meaning apple due the shape of the fruit. The most distinguishing feature of these peppers are their black seeds. The peppers themselves are very pungent, approx 5cm (2in) long and 4cm (1½in) wide and resemble miniture bell peppers and this variety matures in colour from green to yellow.[1]
