I got my indian pc-1 seeds from reimerseeds.com. The description of the
plant was as follows:
Indian PC-1 (India-Hottest Cultivated)
List Price: $2.00
Plant produces good yields of 2" long by 1/2" wide hot peppers. Peppers turn
from green to orange red when mature. This is the World's Hottest Cultivated
Pepper! It surpasses the Red Savina Habanero. Grows in northeastern hills of
India. Used in Indian dishes. Requires constant 85 degree temperatures for
successful germination. Great for home gardens and hot pepper hobbyist.
pk/10
I had also found some addition information at :

Scroll down about 1/3 of the page and you'll see it.
I flat out don't beleive the claim that it is hotter than the red savina. I
couldn't find much information from others who have actually grown this
plant so I thought I would try the chilehead list since there are so many
people here with lots of experience growing peppers. I will get to know
this plant myself since I have several but I was curious and thought I
would ask anyway. Thanks for the responses.
