It is a C. baccatum variety that is patented. Here's a link to that discussion. http://www.tomatoville.com/showthrea...light=peppadew
I just did a quick google search and I guess piquante is a name for them. They look sort of like cherry peppers, but cherry peppers an C. annum variety so they are not closely related. Peppadews are hot, but not overly so and they have a nice fruity flavor so they pickle well.
