I think Pepper Joe messed this one up

[austin87]

This plant is supposed to be a red scotch bonnet. I got a 3 pack (yellow, orange, red SB). The yellow and orange leaves look like my other chinense (Bahamian goat, reaper, scorpion, ghost - that are not from PJ). The red looks more like my poblano and cayenne. It hasn't flowered yet. Can anyone say with certainty that this is or is not a chinense?

 

[primal13]

I wish I could help with that. The plant does look good.

Look at the flower buds. Is there only one per node? From the pictures, it looks like one flower per node. If that is the case, then it is not a chinense.

It's looking like Anuum

Andrew was thinking perhaps one of those black cobra type plants.Just a guess...

thank you for the help I need it. A goat pepper I think has furry edge leafs.

Black Cobra being an annuum has been referenced.  However, the plant usually shows some hints of black/purple in the leaves and stalks.  I don't see any black/purple at all.  Black Cobra has (edit) PURPLE flowers too.  Let us know what pans out.

I'd wait until you get pods before making any judgments. It's almost impossible to ID a plant solely on its leaves. Even with pods it's difficult and everyone will just be throwing guesses your way.

The edge of the leafs are furry

I noticed that as well.

Buying PepperJoe's was like buying a hardware store with all the nuts and bolts in the wrong drawers.
 
However if you do indeed have an issue I am sure they will take care of you.

I agree with D3, you'll be getting a lot of guesses. In my opinion, it looks like a Capsicum Baccatum. I'm growing a Bishop's Crown. The leaves look similar and it looks like yours has squared stems, just like mine. I don't think the edges of my leaves are furry, though.

This looks like a typical annuum. Not sure about the furry leaves though. Let the pods develop and then you will have a far more accurate answer. The plant looks healthy, though!

Without fotos of fruit and flowers, trying to guess the chile is a fool's errand.

You got that right.
If that owner hasn't figured out how to fix the cross polination and mishandling of the seeds, it won't really help the situation.

 

[austin87]

These should be flowering in the next week or so. There is definitely one and only one flower per node.
 
I'll update as it goes.

 

[austin87]

Finally got a flower... Any ideas from the community as to what this might be?

 

[Bhuter]

That's a Capsicum Baccatum. A lot of Aji's are Baccatums. Great peppers! You might have a winner, there.

So assuming someone saw a red, flattened pepper and thought "red scotch bonnet" I'm thinking I have either a Bishop's crown or a Brazilian starfish...

Excited to see what I get but very anxious

That is entirely possible. When I first got my Bishop's Crown 3 years ago from the local nursery, it was labeled "Red Mushroom Pepper". Red Mushroom peppers are often sold as Scotch Bonnets, as you know. So you might be right. I've never tried the Starfish, but everybody in the house loves Bishop's Crown. This will be exciting to see what you have!
