Hilo'is a variant of 'Smooth Cayenne' selected in Hawaii in 1960. The plant is more compact, the fruit is smaller, more cylindrical; produces no slips but numerous suckers It may be the same as the 'Cayenne Lisse' strain grown in Martinique and on the Ivory Coast, the fruit of which weighs from 2 to 2 3/4 lbs (1-1 1/2 kg) and has a very small crown.
'St. Michael', another strain of 'Smooth Cayenne' is the famous product of the Azores. The fruit weighs 5 to 6 lbs (2.25-2.75 kg), has a very small crown, a small core, is sweet with low acidity, and some regard it as insipid when fully ripe.
'Giant Kew', well-known in India, bears a large fruit averaging 6 lbs (2.75 kg), often up to 10 lbs (4.5 kg) and occasionall up to 22 lbs (10 kg). The core is large and its extraction results in too large a hole in canned slices.
'Charlotte Rothschild', second to 'Giant Kew' in size in India, tapers toward the crown, is orange-yellow when ripe, aromatic, very juicy. The crop comes in early. 'Baron Rothschild', a Cayenne strain, grown in Guinea, has a smaller fruit 1 3/4 to 5 lbs (0.8-2 kg) in weight, marketed fresh.
'Perolera' (also celled 'Tachirense', 'Capachera', 'Motilona', and 'Lebrija') is a 'Smooth Cayenne' type ranking second to 'Red Spanish' in importance in Venezuela. It has long been grown in Colombia. The plant is entirely smooth with no spine at the leaftip. The fruit is yellow, large-7 to 9 1bs (3-4 kg) and cylindrical.
'Bumanguesa', of Venezuela and Colombia, is probably a mutation of 'Perolera'. The fruit is red or purple externally, cylindrical with square ends, shallow eyes, deep-yellow flesh, very slender core but has slips around the crown and too many basal slips to suit modern commercial requirements.
'Monte Lirio', of Mexico and Central America, also has smooth leaves with no terminal spine. The fruit is rounded, white-fleshed, with good aroma and flavor. Costa Rica exports fresh to Europe.
