It is sold here as "Jamaican Hot" The pod in the photo is similar to 80% of the seeds in the average pkt. with the rest showing variations in shape up to "Scotch Bonnets". They are the easiest of the chinense to grow , flower and fruit here and seem to over-winter much easier. They grow very well in pots. I have seed of this available in my nursery. I am on a real HIGH having taken delivery of 8 cartons of hot sauces from the US. The selection in NZ is very small so our selection is quite large and if we are going to sell them I will have to test them first! Life can be tough.
