Capsicum annuum var. glabrisculum
Chiltecpin aka Bird Pepper
South America in the tropical regions.

 

Perennial in its native climate.
May reach 5 feet tall in the tropics.
 
 
 
 

 

The common name comes from the fact that birds do not have the taste receptors to feel the heat of peppers and, therefore, this plant is a preferred food for them.
