Nope, unfortunately not even the correct species. Habaneros and reapers are both Capsicum chinense. This picture looks like a Capsicum annuum. You can tell based on the large calyx, low amount of pods per node, and leaf features.

The pod looks very similar to my Aji Mango (capsicum baccatum) peppers right now. Does it have green stripes down the center of each flower petal, or are they solid white?

The pepper looks just like bishops crown or mad hatter, but if the seeds are from Pepper Joe’s, it may be a sweet lookalike. I had some a couple years ago, and they were labeled as red Scotch bonnets, but looked like that and were as sweet as any bell pepper.
