Naga Jolokia?

Was given a few seeds by a friend and was told they were Naga Jolokia seeds. I'm willing to bet that's not what they are at this point. About 5 inches long, about an inch thick, and they've only been peppers for about week and a half. Any idedas what these could be?

Those could very well be "Naga Jolokia", as in the Tezpur PC-1, a C.Frutescens that sets pods just like that one. The name "Naga Jolokia" is used in that region for that pepper, while "Bhut Jolokia" is used to describe the C.Chinense that most people call the "Ghost Pepper." Many hot sauce companies, and some seed vendors use the names interchangeably, but they are different peppers. "Naga Jolokia" is not the proper name for the Ghost Pepper, "Bhut Jolokia" is.
 
Cool, looks like that could be it. thank you.
