Mike,
I grow "chili" peppers every year to be dried an ground up and the pods
look like the tabasco variety but the plant is not as big or bushy. They
are about a foot high with about 50 pods per plant. There is some good
info and pictures at Pepper Profile: Capsicum Frutescens
<http://www.fiery-foods.com/dave/profile_frutescens.html> According to
this site, the species name "frutescens" means shrubby or bushy.

Thank you for your email of recent date. No, TABASCO(R) Peppers are
Capsicum frutescens, TABASCO(R) variety. Cayenne peppers are Capsicum
annum. Thank you for your interest in our company and our products.

Are the peppers you use a variety of cayenne, or some other pepper
entirely?
Be well,
