You should find out what they really are and call them that rather than make up a name and confuse everyone after you who grows this plant.

Here is a link that might be useful: Chile Database

MMM? Yeah, that is my point. The person who gave them to me called them piquins, but he was not a chile aficionado, just liked using them in his native dishes. Here in the U.S. I guess we don't call any of the frutescens piquins. So if I ever want to swap/giveaway seeds or fruits I would like to know the best common name to refer to them as. So, should I just refer to them as piquins since that is what they were called where they came from, or do I need to call them something else here in the U.S.?

post some pictures so you can get some folks to help identify the pepper you have, if possible post some blooms and leaf patterns.

ive seen several types of peppers called piquin, piquin is just a description rather than the name of a pepper.

Piquin means small, tiny in Spanish from whence the name came.

I may post some pictures soon. So I guess I can just call them "Piquin-type C. frutescens"?
