Heirloom Hot Lemon Pepper from Ecuador?

[MissGreenJeans]

I'm wondering if anyone has grown a similar pepper as this (pictured). I bought the seeds on a whim this spring (Burpee), the package called it a Hot Lemon Heirloom pepper from the markets of Ecuador. The fruit did not turn out looking like the package (mine are shorter and more creased). It's a rather hot pepper, at least as hot as the Habaneros I grew this year.
 
The plants grew quite large (almost 4' tall and a good 3 foot spread) and it was a very late fruiting plant. I started the seeds in March and it was September before I saw any fruit developing. As you can see, it made up for lost time with a huge crop coming on now.

Looks like my devil's tongue.

i have grown the burpee hot lemon several times in the past. it is a baccatum. so the plant grows large, long branches jutting out. the fruit can take a long time to mature and many times will rot on the plant before maturing.  biting into a hot lemon feels just likes its name, like you just bit into a hot lemon that has been soaked in hot water. your first experience should be a star burst of lemony flavour gushing into your mouth.  the heat is manageable, hot at first but then phases out. but the lemony flavour is what you remember. if you have had baccatums before, the flavour should be identifiable, if not this will be your baccatum yard stick on what a baccatum should feel and taste like.
 
if your pods taste like a chinense, then it is not a baccatum. i would suggesting growing other baccatum like bishop crown to give you an understanding of what baccatum should taste like.
 
the burpee hot lemon maybe a aji lemon drop with a different name.
 
the only issue i have ever had with burpee is there mix red/yellow habanero seeds that has never produced a single yellow hab, only red. one would think, out of a 2 dozen seeds that at least one seed would deliver a yellow hab. other than that, i give a 2 thumbs up to the burpee hot lemon pepper.
 
good luck with your growing.

the burpee hot lemon maybe a aji lemon drop with a different name.

 
IMO, those look nothing like an Aji Limon.  Pods are way too fat, too wrinkled, and too dark of a yellow.

Many thanks to Scuba Steve and BurningColon for the plant ID input. With the info you shared I was able to do some more research. I think its a Fatalii, based on descriptions of growth habit.

I have these exact same seeds and plan in starting them on 1/3. I tried unsuccessfully to grow them in the past but am really looking forward to whatever fruits they produce. I should have no trouble bringing the pots outside in March, so hopefully will have some pics and subjective experience to provide.

Redeemer, plant plenty. I planted 12 pots with three seeds each and had only three plants from the batch. Those three did grow quite successfully. But they took their sweet time to produce pods. When they started producing, however they were quite fruitful.

I've got these planted now and was also wondering about their heritage. They call them an Ecuadorian heirloom on the pack.
It's irritating that Burpee doesn't list genus species information on the packs or their sites.. That said, they DO offer a pretty large selection of varieties and cultivars you probably wouldn't be able to touch locally otherwise. 
Pretty sick to think of a less than 10% germination rate.. Curious about the date on those seeds, among other things. 
It seems pretty likely these are NOT Aji Limon/Lemon Drop, which are from Peru, not Ecuador. I'm not a big fan of assumptions.. Guess I'll have to grow both for the side by side.
