Madame Jeanette (Capsicum chinense). Originally from Suriname. Fairly small plant that dislikes cool growing sites. Will grow indoors. Fruits are shaped like small bell peppers but with Habanero like heat. Ripens to reddish-yellow but they are larger and not quite as misshapen, as Habaneros. When raw, the taste is of a hot burning, without any sweetness or fruitiness. May be related to the Surinam Red (as this pepper is also known as 'Surinam Yellow'). Very prolific.
