What kind of chilie is this-Medusa..it must have strayed

Some weeks ago I asked the question....4th July post I think.
Well, it is not that hot but it has few seeds. Average length is about 3 to 4 inches. White flowers, not the baccatum sort, not in tight clusters but maybe 3 or 4 flowers side by side (unlike the takanotsume/eagle claw type).

I sure need experienced chili fans's help allright.

By the what, what kind of habaneros-is it habanero mustard? (picture: the one with 2 fruits) The colour is light green too and later one or two even becomes paler before slowly ripening light red.

THANKS!

Not sure about the hab, but what you described could be a Medusa. It has next to no heat, few pretty small seeds and the peppers grow upright, they look like little flames and ripen from white to red. Hope that helps!

I don't think its a medusa. Not sure what it is
 
The peppers look pretty big for a Medusa, but the pic might be deceiving.... I'd post a pic of mine, but I have no pods on it atm, picked them all a few days ago.
 
Well this is what my Mustard Hab looks like, I don't remember them going to pale red when ripening though.

Here's the chileman info on Medusa.

My Medusa is weedy looking.

My Medusa looks a bit like that, too. It isn't yielding as many pods as I expected. It is one of the few plants that tends to drop a lot of leaves.
 
It isn't a medusa, for sure.

Leaves should be more elongated, and the sides of the leaves slightly curl up.

Here are some pics of mine as she grew up..

The last pic was from two weeks ago, currently the first couple of peppers are turning orange.

Sorry I cant help you on what it is.
