as to the hotness, i would say it rivals the tepin n piquin chilis.... in a short time i will have pics of the chilis cause it looks like my flowers will be droppin pretty soon on my plant....
Heres some pics folks....
This was about a month ago.....
Ive grown both Tepin and piquin chili plants before and this one is a little bit different than the both plants...

But i digress, the plant pictured looks very much like a pubescens.
Serrano's are Annuum's.
The plant may be a little furry but it's not a C. Pubescens. The leaf structure and shape plus the flowers are not a match.
The most obvious answer at this point.... C. annuum "Goat's Weed"??
Are the immature pods purple/black in colour?

The only thing is though, to my knowledge, the fruits of Goat's Weed are much larger than Piquin....

We could also be looking at an F1 hybrid too... Is pubescence a dominate trait?
I can't think of many hairy Annuums...
Doesn't look like a serrano to me.
Can you describe the pod shape at maturity?
leaf shape and nodes do look annum-ish, and yet the hair makes me think pubescent.
If you look closely at the flowers, there is a touch of gold near the tips... Would like to see another picture under different lighting...
The plant holds the peppers differently than the goats weed as well.
Goats weed points them up, these dangle.

What did the pods you harvested seed from look like?
Similar to a tepin?

Maybe I missed something?
By the looks of it, Goat's Weed pods do start off green before they turn black:

The ones I got the seeds from were about the size of piquin chilis and were in the final stage of red.
