El Capsicum pubescens o rocoto es un fruto, una baya hueca y carnosa en cuyo interior hay pequeñas semillas negras aplanadas, lisas, de 2,5 a 3,5 milímetros de diámetro. Su estructura química es principalmente celulosa y algo de lignina, adheridas a las venas o septos, que son suaves tabiques unidos a la planeta central del fruto.

partitions
In Spanish, the colloquial term for septo (septum) is tabique, e.g. "tabique nasal". Here, I'd use partition.
Septum:
1. (anatomy) A wall separating two cavities; a partition; as, the nasal septum.
2. (botany) A partition that separates the cells of a fruit.
3. (mycology) A partition that separates the cells of a (septated) fungus.
4. (zoology) One of the radial calcareous plates of a coral.
5. (zoology) One of the transverse partitions dividing the shell of a mollusk, or of a rhizopod, into several chambers.
6. (zoology) One of the transverse partitions dividing the body cavity of an annelid.

You could also use "dissepiment", but I don't think it's the right register in this case, as the idea is to explain what the septa are, i.e. the white ribs inside the pepper that you normally remove.
from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
dissepiment n. In botany: A partition; especially, one of the partitions within ovaries and fruits formed by the coherence of the sides of the constituent carpels. Spurious or false dissepiments are partitions otherwise formed.

Or perhaps you could opt for "separating tissue":
from the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English
dissepiment: n. A separating tissue; a partition; a septum.

Botany Zoology
A partition in a part or organ; a septum.

walls
I believe than in this context it refers to the "soft walls" attached to the fruit's central planet.

segments
The interior of the fruit is segmented, so we tend to talk about the segments rather than their "walls" per se, although that is indeed what they are.

Perhaps the best example of segmented fruit would be the citrus family:

Robert Carter
: But the septum is not the same as a segment, it's what divides one segment or seed-bearing section of the fruit from another, a membrane. In peppers and chillies, they recede as the fruit grows, leaving those pale ribs.
