A rather strange wrinkly Pepper

[Sminky]

Hi all
 
Does anyone have any idea what this Chilli is? Very late to fruit. It had white flowers. It has low heat and approx 3-4 inches in length. Its 'crinkly' style is rather strange.
 
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

Kind of looks like Poinsettia or something in that neighborhood of C. annuum.. Poinsettia are usually smoother pods though, from my perspective.

Have to agree with C. annuum and a "cluster" type pepper which poinsettia pepper plant is one of many. There's also Medusa and Rooster spur pepper among others.

Thanks for helping narrow the search, (or even solving it).

After eating a few, the crinkle red ones are really low in flavour and just mildly hot. The Green Chillis though are actually really nice but near 0 heat, less then 1000 SHU. They are rather tasty though so would be great to get an ID on them.

Well, now that's the first time I ate a green one of those! My Poinsettia(which isn't really the true form IMO): They are pretty low heat green, but I wouldn't call them tasty at any stage, definitely tastiest at the just starting to blush color.. More bitter and a little hotter when ripe.

Maybe it's a weird cross then. As when Green they are incredible juicy, not unlike a Bell Pepper in taste. Red ones are very tough even though the skin is thin and don't taste much of anything. Maybe thats whey they took so long to 'ripen'
