History

• Originated in Peru. Some sources say that it came from La Paz, Bolivia.
• First offered in the Seed Savers 1996 Yearbook by Stephen Fox of Plano, Texas (TX FO S), who purchased seeds from Johnny's Selected Seeds . Not listed by SSE members since 2006.
• Perhaps due to its somewhat generic name, there are some other peppers with the same name exist - i.e., small round red.
