    Could be a Devil’s Tongue variety, I grew the Chocolate version a few years back, but they were far too hot for me, even the sauce was too much to handle.

    It looks like a chili that will burn twice.

    Naga / bhutlah who knows.

    What you have is definitely a Capsicum chinense species. But it’s gonna be hard to say which one because I think this might have been grown from a cross-pollinated seed. It has faint phenos of different c. chinense varieties but nothing points to one a specific variety. Almost guaranteed it’ll be very hot, however.

  5. Looks like scorpion, my favorite super hot. They’re like the horseradish of the pepper world. Very hot and intense but they don’t linger too long.

    Your mother is a saint! Tell her she’s awesome for me! 💪

  7. As another poster said, these are some variant of Capsicum Chinense. They look a lot like the ghost peppers I grew before they turned red. These will be extremely hot, like wear gloves when you handle them kind of hot. They have a really good flavor, but unless you’re insane you’ll probably only want to try them in small doses or diluted in something else.

    You’ll never truly know without a label. One thing for sure, it’s gonna burn…. Alot
