Dr. Gurcharan Singh ji, Many thanks for the identification. I knew it as Bird eye chilli, but had my doubts. The reason being, the Wikipedia link sent by you (I had also gone through it before sending it to eflora) has a picture with the chilli hanging down. The picture of the chilli sent by me is always pointing upwards. The length of the chilli in our place is never over 1" .and the diameter is hardly 5 mm,(the picture sent by me shows the length of the chilli around 6 mm and the diameter around 4 mm), whereas the picture in Wikipedia link shows the chilli over 2" according to me and the diameter at least 10 mm. The scovile rating however is perfect. Please help me. Regards. Yazdy.
