Not sure what the name of these peppers are-like a few I've grown over the past few years, I got one from a friend who didn't know it's name. Not sure it's name is important after you taste one. I'd put the heat level in between a Thai Dragon and an Orange Habanero, so right around 100,000 or more on the Scoville Scale. Nice thing about this pepper is the nice clean heat it puts out, not a lot of extra flavor, just the spice.
