I suspect that "Fresno" is a good bet, but the geniouses at Texas A&M,
(never too clear on a concept), have birthed a gutless Jalapeno, for
those who like the flavor of alfalfa without the heat. I don't know
how widely distributed it is, but for me it is one more reason to
avoid storebought Jalapenos in favor of serranos.
