LAst fall a co-worker gave me some small chiles. He identified
them as Thai Peppers. They are small (1/2"x1/4"), sort of like a
chiltepin only somewhat pointed instead of oval. Since they were
small and I only had about a dozen, I put them in a small bowl and
forgot about them. I recently came across them and tasted one.
They are definitely hot! I was figuring of saving them until spring and
trying to grow some but would really like to identify them. A scan of
some is located at:

The pencil in the scan is for reference to size. Any help on this will
be appreciated. I asked him again what they were and his best
answer was "Thai Chiles". He swears that they are hotter than
habaneros
