chinense Do these look like bih jolokias to you?

I am growing bih jolokias but they dont look a whole lot like the bhut jolokia i am growing. These aren't near as pimply actually they are preatty smooth like a hab. They aren't quite as big as a naga either. Here are the pics.

Like you say, they ain't pimply, or wrinkly like a Naga/Bih, but they're the right shape. Looks like cross-pollenation.
 
+1 on paper lantern. They look exactly like the ones i'm growing.

Good news is hot paper lantern plants are more cold tolerant than most chinense types.
 
Get a gallon of milk and some bread and butter and just pop one of those mystery peppers in your mouth, start chewing and when you get back to earth, report how the tasted.
