This plant is the only one of its kind here of the almost 200 plants I have.

The plant grows with lots of branches and growing fast. The flowers are small.
The plant is also velvety hairy.

I think I have the answer to your query.

You acquired Goat's Weed and Chile Rayado from me. Now my suspicion is that what I have been calling Chile Rayado (acquired from PepperLover way back when Judy owned it as Farmer's Market Jalapeño) is actually a cross between the Zapotec Jalapeño and the Goat's Weed. And this beauty is a genetic throwback similar to a Goat's Weed but with characteristics from annuum var annuum.

What a lekker "freak" to have. Enjoy the fruits of your labour compadre!

Thanks Rob. Today I tried the first ripe one. Its a time bomb! At first it was hot, but nothing too wild. Then after about two minutes I realized it is nou exploding in my mouth. Even long after it was all chewed up and gone. Made me sweat for at least a few minutes.
Not very tasty. There are about 300 fruits now and many more to come. I will have to dry or make salsa.
Only two seeds in it.

You're welcome Hannes!
Ya it's an introgressive cross. Pity that it doesn't taste great. Goat's Weed tastes amazing - just like other annuum var glabriusculum - especially when unripe.

But at least you have a very productive hot chili that you can use to add heat to salsa/hot sauce without changing the flavour. Sometimes uninvited guests bring the best gifts.

This first fruit was only just turning redish so maybe if it gets really ripe it tastes better. I am not someone that tastes all the fine flavors anyway.
When its all boiled up or fermented it changes anyway with the spices and other chillies

Hi Rob, shouldn't Goat's weed be C. annuum var. annuum?
Apart from taxonomy, glabriusculum should mean "hairless", goat's weed is pubescent

 

[RobStar]

Ya it's a very odd choice of name as var annuum is not pubescent either.
The defining characters are the small flowers with a crook-neck pedicel (the pedicels are erect with the flower bud facing down and then horizontal upon anthesis) and fruits held erect. All the wild annuum have this in common.

true... also looking at the names of the other species (e.g. chinense, baccatum..), it seems that they often made a mistake or chose the first thing that came to mind as the name

BTW, very interesting information
