A coworker of mine scored some plants at a local nursery. The first one was labeled only as "Native Thai". The pods are about as hot as a cayenne, typical Thai flavor, 2-2.5 inches long. They appear to ripen from green - yellow - orange - red.

The next one is a serious score! $22 for this plants loaded with about 20 ripe pods. They sold it as a ghost pepper, but I honestly am thinking Dorset Naga or possibly Naga Morich due to the very smooth skin. I haven't tasted one yet so I cannot comment on the taste.

He says it is definitely hot and similar to the red bhut I brought him a couple of weeks ago. He is a recent convert to the Church Of Pepper though. I guess I will be waiting until later in the year and see if they get the bhut pimples or not.

Doesn't look like the Purira I've grown but I have seen Pirira named as either Long,Fat or thin.
There might be different ones.

Mine were all pods that were fatter at the bottom/tapered to a sharp or rounded point and the fat ones were 2-3 times fatter than the regular ones.
I never grew the long version,as far as what my seed packs label says.

I see Purira listed as both an Annuum or a Frutescens on some data bases.
