In English he is called Peter Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum, "Peter pepper"). You can find reds, oranges and yellows (this last color being rather rare). On the Scoville scale, it is evaluated on average at 16,500 on the Scoville scale, that is to say that it has a burning taste, but excellent dried or candied.
