Not a moruga... but what is it?

[cloudhand]

I picked this plant up a few months ago at a local nursery. It was labeled and sold as a Scorpion Moruga pepper. Turns out that this is obviously not a moruga or a scorpion pepper, but what is it? I tried a green pod... not really much flavor or heat... maybe it will get better/hotter when the pods ripen?
 
Any clues as to what this may be is appreciated. Thanks.

thai chile???? i don't know!  lmao

lol my thai chili plants look just like it. but its hard to tell with these types of peppers until they are ripe

What size are the pods?  Look like possibly Takanotsume.  Most definitely not Moruga, not even the same species.

i see this very often and there is a dilema when it comes to this particular group of chiles and that is that there are so many that look just like this so without specific knowledge of its name it could be near impossable
 
my guess because of its size would be THAI DRAGON
 
thanks your friend Joe

Thank you for all of the replies. The pods are roughly 3 to 3.5 inches long and the plant itself is about 3 feet tall. The pods are all bunched together at the top of the plant with very little pod production below the main split. I suspected some sort of Thai chile but wasn't sure since I have never grown these before. The garden center I purchased this from was having a clearance sell and I picked it up for $1. I also got a ghost pepper for $1 that is growing true and is loaded with large, bumpy, mean looking ghost pods.

That photo looks very similar to my plant. Thanks ajijoe for the ID and 420 dude for sharing the photo. What struck me as interesting is the way the peppers grow bunched together at the top of the plant... I had not seen that before in any of my plants. Do these peppers develop much heat... so far the ones I have tried off of my plant have had very little heat. Thanks.

this is my first Thai chili, i as well have noticed not much heat either. hoping as they ripen they get hotter
