peppers from Madagascar

I have wondered about that myself as there should be some landraces somewhere, but have never heard anyone talk about any pepper from there.  I assume that one of the gurus here might know of some, Madagascar is one place that is not really well traveled by tourist and or collectors.
 
I got 2 varieties from Madagascar which were collected by a pepperfriend who went on holiday there, Sakay Green and Voat Siperifery. Although I'm not sure if the names are correct, he collected them at a local market.
 
the sakay is a capsicum and the voat is not from what searching came up with. do you have any pictures of the sakay?
 
I saw a Madagascar paste recipe that said sakay. It called for red peppers ground ginger garlic and oil. sure sounds good.
 
they should have some Frutescens like pili  pili i seen it long time ago.
also the locals living their will most likely have "domesticated" varieties for market use.
