Stumbled across these at a local shop, amongst the "habaneros".
Some look a bit Moruga-ish, 7-pot-ish to me, but what do I know. Please could you guys help ID these "habaneros"? Thank you.

Number 8 looks like a butch T and number one looks like a red moruga
While I've been seeing a lot of off-phenos and tiny tail nubs at markets lately myself, those are definitely not Habaneros. The vast majority look Scorpion related, all to varying degrees, but I couldn't tell you the exact variety.

It's cool, thanks
There were some chillies in the box that were more habanero-ey, but I did searched through the box for the ones with the tails.D3monic said:
(Nodding in agreement.) I was wondering about that too.
I have cut them all up now to dry, and the seeds I have packaged up to dry too. If they are random F-X crosses, that will really add to the fun factor for the future seasons.
These chillies definitely smell and tasted different from the "normal" habaneros that I have had. They have less of that lemoney smell and are hot in a nice way, even in the tip of the tails. I have not gone chomping on them as though they were apples because they are all I have, and I am running low on chilli oil. So they are incredients rather than ... silly things to do.
By the looks of things I am going to head out to another local mini-mart tomorrow where they stock fresher habaneros, and see if any scorpions have got mixed up in there, of if their habaneros are "haunted".

It's amazing how much variety you see in these boxes then because those have little in common with the traditional Hab appearance. Then again, I've had traditional 3 lobed Scotch Bonnets and ones with the more generic appearance from the same box too. Some pretty small, some less so and one or two bigger than a tennis ball.
Wish I'd been smart and taken seeds from the large, lobed, too hot to nibble one rather than hoping they'd survive if left in the pod core. I wanted to grow out that beast.
