There was initially some confusion and disagreement about whether it was a ''Capsicum frutescens'' or a ''Capsicum chinense'' pepper, but DNA tests showed it to be an interspecies hybrid, mostly ''C. chinense'' with some ''C. frutescens'' genes. * First offered in the Seed Savers 2010 Yearbook by Gary W. Maness of Greensboro, North Carolina (NC MA G) (seeds from NC JO R 2008) and Harry Martz of Imler, Pennsylvania (PA MA H), seeds from NMSU Chile Pepper Institute. * Assamese: ভোট-জলকীয়া Pepper Institute. * Assamese: ভোট-জলকীয়া
