I agree, it's definitely not one of those. Plus the Moruga generally doesn't have as long of a stinger.floricole said:Capsaicinoid vesicles are seen on the interior wall of a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion chile pepper.

I agree, there is no way to identify it positively, with there being so many crosses and different strains. I've only gotten into peppers recently and being a curious guy, I like to at least try to identify every pepper I come across. The only thing I'm pretty sure on these peppers is that they're probably some form of scorpion. Thanks to all those who helped me come to that conclusion!BlackFatalii said:It is very difficult to give a 100% positive ID just based on the phenotypes of those peppers. They do appear to be superhots, possibly Scorpions of some kind, but then again there are plenty of superhot varieties that can produce pods that resemble the ones in your pictures. You seem to be trying to get positive IDs based on relatively minor variations in phenotype, such as having a somewhat longer or shorter tail, but remember that variations like that can occur even on the same plant. I have seen more dramatic variations than these on the same plant before. And then there is the possibility that one or all of them may not even be a pure strain, but some kind of cross.
OTOH, if you really think that these are Sunrise Scorpions, then growing them out should help ID them. Sunrise Scorpion peppers have the distinctive trait of growing upright on the plant, rather than hanging pendant like other Scorpions and most other superhots do.
