It sure looks like a habanero that hasn't completely ripened. They usually turn orange when ripe and are very shiny. There is a "green" strain but you don't see them often.
Some of the so called "chili" peppers are shaped like that also. The Habaneros are extremely hot.

I found a couple last year that are just right. A Cajun Bell, and one called a Marriachi pepper. But, I'm from Nebraska, and I think creamed corn is an exotic food. Cajun Bell Mariachi Trying to make hot sauce that doesnt hurt.

Looks like a ghost type hybrid with the "stinger" on the bottom. Definitely not ripe yet as said above.
Just happy to be here.

Definitely some sort of super hot. I grow butch TS, ghost peppers (bhut jolokias), and Carolina reapers, and they all look pretty similar. The bhut jolokias tend to be more elongated with less of a tail... As compared to the scorpion type peppers that have a definite stinger. They're dangerous hot, they'll ruin the rest of your day if you're not careful. They're the only peppers I've had that create actual intense pain and not just a super strong burn. They're nuts, be careful. I don't even really know what to do with them, they're way too hot to even put in things, let alone eat by themselves. They're basically just a novelty.

Trying to make hot sauce that doesnt hurt. [/quote] And what fun would that be? If it tastes good it's ok to hurt a little

Here is a Ghost pepper pic from one of my plants I took today. While there are slight differences between TL's pepper and mine. I still vote the mystery pepper is a Ghost. A word of caution, use rubber gloves anytime you even mess the plant or pick peppers. A smear of Ghost pepper residue in the eye is not a good time. For a real sense of the strength of those peppers, bite one in half. Give it 15 or so chews, then spit the whole thing out. You won't get sick but you will notice how intense the heat can be. A little bit like hitting your thumb real square with a hammer, except no blood ! Enjoy
