Which is the correct Pir Piri?

[JohnF 0]

Anyone grow this? I have two plants and previously posted a picture of pods from both plants saying there was variation. Upon closer examination I realized they are two different plants. Anyone know which is correct?

I believe true piri piri is a small erect fruit, so plant "b" is my choice.

However a lot of peppers is called piri-piri (which means something like "pepper-pepper") so plant "a" may be (another) piri-piri as well.

Yes, my Portuguese source said he did not know a specific variety name that the local people just called it Piri Piri

Hi John, I believe that the second one is the piri-piri. Look here :

 

 

And here in Portugal the term piri-piri is a bit confusing because people calls piri-piri every hot pepper, though the real one is a C. Frutescens with erect pods as this.
