*This is one of many habanero chillies varieties in the chinense pepper family. It should not be confused with the Deng Long Jiao – A facing heaven strain in the frutescens family, from china, which is also known as the Lantern Chilli because of its physical resemblence to a chinese paper lantern.

**This value represents the heat rating that I would expect to give to a sauce using this pepper as its main ingredient. Other ingredients or particularly high purity may result in a slightly stronger sauce, while lower concentrations will yeild a weaker one and other products may vary.
