Unknown Green Pepper

[HabaneroHottie]

My father in law calls this Green Goddess but a google search reveals no such pepper name. The pictures dont really show, but it takes on a yellowish green tint (and Im too scared to test out its hottness raw) - although I do believe it is a really hot pepper. I have attached pictures of the first harvest as well as the plant itself.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!!

i`m no help with the ID because of my limited grows of super hots. i assume the pods ripen to a different color if left on the plant longer? it does look like it packs good heat. i`m sure others will jump in with possible ID`s.

Thanks for the insight. This is actually the ripe color (I guess I could’ve left it for another day or so). They are your typical green while growing but turn a yellowish-brownish-greenish color when ripe. I will let the next ones get super ripe and update this post with those.

Growth habit is chinense, ie, multiple fruit per node.

I really couldn't see it in the OP's original post (Getting on in years my friend!) so I downloaded it - resized & rotated it  and that helped helped.
EDIT!

Could be a 7 Pot Evergreen. Only green ripe chinense I can think of.

There is also Sara's Green Habanero, but from the images I have seen its fruits have a more wrinkled appearance.

I did some google searches of 7 pot evergreen and it looks like that’s exactly what this is. Thanks!

UPDATE!!

So I let some go to [what I think is] full maturity and this is what they look like. Unfortunately, the pics do not accurately reflect their true color. The color is a kind of flat yellowish/green, but my camera just had to try and make them look bright green. You will notice that some have some serious yellow in them (which makes me wonder if they would turn full yellow if I left on longer). I attached a photo of my harvest so that it will hopefully be possible to zoom in and see their true color.

Let me know what you think!

Also, I went ahead and attached a pic of my harvests of chocolate habaneros and scorpions!

Another member can correct me if I'm wrong here, but if you have one that looks pretty yellow, stick it in a bag (or really just let it sit out with some other ripe peppers around it) and see if it gets more yellow. If so, yellow is the ripe color. If not, it might just be some sort of color fluctuation. I'm not sure how it works for the chinense peppers, but for things like cayennes and super chilis, a half-ripe pepper easily turned mostly red over the course of a week of sitting alongside other peppers.

Second Update!

So I let some go way over what I thought was picking time, and they are starting to take on an orangish color. See phots and let me know what you think!

Looks cool. So, I don't know whether this is any named variety or not, but it's a chinense and it appears the pepper has the recessive ch allele/gene for chlorophyll retention.  This causes the green chlorophyll in the pod to remain as the pod ripens, when it would otherwise degrade and disappear.  So, if the pepper were otherwise a red-ripening variety, with the ch mutation you would get a brown pepper due to the combination of red and green.  If the pepper were normally a yellow pepper, the green typically overpowers the yellow and you get a green mature pod.  If the color is otherwise somewhere between yellow and red, you get a color between green and brown.
 
To me, your pepper looks like a yellow pepper with ch.  It could be that your pepper starts to turn an orange/yellow coloration when it's left on the plant long enough and, when combined with the ch, you start to pick up some brownish coloration from the darker pigmentation.  IDK.  But those first several pics in post #9 look great.
