Anyone read Mandarin?

I purchased these seeds from an online auction. They were shipped from China. I have them started and the seedlings are growing well.

Any clue as to what these are?

Thanks

They look like one commonly known as Pimenta Cambuci/Bishop's Hat. At least that's the only pepper with that particular shape that I personally know of, obviously it could be something different.

Literally, Wind Bell Ornamental Pepper

I just asked one of my students here at the University of Waterloo. She said its more like a Wind Chime-like Pepper.

I thought it would be something like "Lava Burning of the Lips".

I've grown out 3 or 4 varieties that look a lot like that. Bishop's Crown is one.

ALL of them are not very hot at all TIL you get near the placenta and seeds. Then watch out and have some milk handy as that area can often be VERY hot. Not Hab hot, but more than a Jalapeno for sure.

Thank you all for your help. I did an image search on Bishop's Hat and they definitely look similar. Assuming, of course, the seeds even grow into the plant depicted on the package.

Thanks again.
