Small orange baccatum that is very hot. Any idea?

These are from Pepperproblem`s freezer and are unlabeled. I`ve eaten a good few of them and it is definitely a C.baccatum variety. However, it is very hot. Not quite Habanero hot, but not that far short. It is, by far, the hottest baccatum I`ve eaten.
 
Does anyone have any ideas??? It looks too small to be Queen Laurie, not the right shape for Aji habanero. I have about 100 pods and these are representative of all of them.

It looks just like it and the Laranha is a Baccatum and is quite hot too, also not surprised you have 100 pods its a crazy producer

Hi Joe,
How would you compare the heat and flavor of these compared to the Aji Cito?
thanks!

Thanks so much, Joe. It is a delicious, sweet-ish pepper, with lots of heat. The baccatum flavour takes a little while to become apparent, but once you taste it, it`s there in spades.

from whatvi get the cito has thye same flavor as the aji amarillo in that its a milder fruity flavor but the larnha even though a lot hotter and takes a little more time for the fruityness to become appent seems to have more, the hotter ones almost seem to have better flavor??
 
thanks hope this helps
your friend Joe

That`s a very good question indeed and one I wrestle with all the time for all peppers. Unless you`ve eaten them, it`s nigh on impossible to say. We have all had vanilla, right? Describe how that tastes in a way I`ll understand. 
 
You need to find some Bishops Crowns or Peru Inca drop or Aji lemon, or Aji crystal or, or, or. The red ones taste better to me.
 
The peppers I`m showing a photo of here came from Pepperproblem`s freezer, so wouldn`t make it down to you if I mailed some.
