From a Google search:

Tepin Chiles
Tepin Chiles (Capsicum Annuum) are also known as Bird Peppers or Chiltepins.
Shaped more like a berry than a chile, the Tepin relies on birds to
propagate it's seeds. Rarely found cultivated, it grows wild in Southern
Texas and throughout Mexico. This chile has a long history, the word Tepin
is from the Nahuatl language of the Aztec Indians. This little pepper is
very spicy with a searing heat. On the heat scale the Tepin is an 8.Scoville
heat units 40,000 - 50,000.

Suggested Use:
Tepin Chiles are very hot Don't let their small size deceive you, a little
goes a long way. Use in Mexican recipes and in Posole dishes. If you love
hot chili, salsa and stews, this is the chile for you.
