Catarina  Shaped like a parakeet's beak it measures .75 to 1 inch in length, has a green to red color and is very hot and is usually found dried.  When dried the translucent red fruits have seeds that rattle.  This peeper is a favorite in Mexico for tamales and used in green pepper sauces.  In its fresh green form it is sometimes called mirasol.
