Further InformationEdit 
A C. baccatum variety. Despite the name, Aji Habanero is not a true habanero (C. chinense) — it is a baccatum pepper from Costa Rica with a similar lantern shape. Ripens green → yellow → orange. Heat: 5,000–10,000 SHU — moderate. The habanero-like appearance led to the misleading name.
