Is it a jalapeno?

[Whiskeyjack75088]

I thought this was just a regular jalapeno at first glance. I am a beginner, but I have never noticed stingers on them before. Of course I lost the seed label as well.
Thanks

What you are calling a stinger is just the remains of the pistil from the flower that produced the pod. That can happen with all different types of peppers. It doesn't mean anything.

is this one of the first pods on the plant? have you gotten other pods from the plant that were normal or had tails? i`m no expert but i would equate this to be kind of like a birthmark where this may show up here and there but not be on all pods.

Fotos of the flowers and more of the plant will  help with identification

Thank y'all for the fast responses. I will take more pics when I get home. There is at least 1 more pepper with the same thing on it.

Well, I just got home. I took several pictures. Most didn't turn out well. I think it is probably just a regular jalapeno variety. I had just. Never seen it before. The fruit is much smaller than the other jalapeños I'm growing as well.

They look like jalapenos to me. Maybe a little bit of an untypical shape but that plant is still very young and/or small so once it matures I think they'll be what you were expecting

They are annuum and likely  Xalapeños.

Looks like a Early jalapeno to me. I had tons of them that were smaller than normal. Really good flavor if you dont mind the size. Sometimes very hot too.
