Countries in which C. pubescens is grown Capsicum pubescens is a plant of the family Capsicum （pepper）.
The species name, pubescens, refers to the hairy leaves of this pepper.
The hairiness of the leaves, along with the black seeds, make Capsicum pubescens distinguishable from other Capsicum species.
Capsicum pubescens has pungent yellow, orange, red or brown fruits.
This species is found primarily in Central and South America, and is known only in cultivation.
It is consumed fresh, paste, dried, or ground.
It is called in Peru and Ecuador rocoto （Quechua, rukutu, ruqutu'）, locoto in Bolivia and Argentina （Aymara, luqutu） and as the manzano pepper in Mexico which means 'apple' for its apple-shaped fruit.
Of all the domesticated species in the family Capsicum, this is the least widespread and most genetically distinct.
Like all other species of the genus Capsicum, plants of the species Capsicum pubescens grow as a shrub, but sometimes as climbing plants.
They grow into four-meter woody plants relatively quickly, and live up to 15 years, which gives them, especially with age, an almost tree-like appearance.
After a first impulse is formed, the plant branches at a height of about 30 cm for the first time, and forms during growth by further dividing into a bushy appearance.
More shoots develop from the leaf axils.
Some varieties have purple discoloration on the branches, as can be observed in other Capsicum species.
The leaves have a 5–12 mm long petiole and a leaf blade ovate to 5–12 cm long, 2.
5 to 4 cm wide, tapering at the top and the base is wedge-shaped.
In addition to the relatively long life, Capsicum pubescens differs in many other characteristics from related species.
The flowers appear singly or in pairs （rarely up to four） on the shoots, and the branches are at about 1 cm long flowe...
