A long time ago, Gabe took a look at the first pic of my first bunch and told me my Manzano was a Brazilian. One problem, A tall Brazilian would be much taller than this one at about ten feet- 10'6 for the last 3 blooms, plus would have a clean rachis.
Dwarf Brazilian has a very messy rachis, but the height is about right, and they sure taste like what Brazilians have been explained to taste like. Here is a pic of the flower after many weeks of growing past the last hand, which I usually do not do.
For the record, when I cut the flower, they begin to fill out soon after, note how puny these still are over two months after they flowered. This one was flowering during hurricane Matthew.
I lightened the pic to show the rachis more clearly...

I just want the most accurate ID I can get on it.
Thank you all.
