Hot Pepper
Capsicum annuum

Overwinters here in Central Texas if protected from hard freeze; if not frozen will stay green and start flowering as soon as it warms up. Excellent xeriscaping, very cute; almost viney in semi-shade. Ours is descended from another locally-naturalized plant.
Yup, they are VERY hot (picante). Keep kids from handling them; wash your hands after handling. We put them in sesame oil for a condiment. I sometime use extract in bug repellent mixes.
May be called "pitin" or "piquin" or "pequin" (with accent on 2nd syllable; all of which more or less mean "pequeno" or small, I think) or Bird Peppers.
