I was given some of these dried pepper kernels last week and they are smoking..........!!! 
They are native to New Mexico and Texas......harvested mostly in the wild......but I am told they can be planted and grown easily in a container down here.
This may be what my grandmother had planted in her back yard that my cousin and I sampled at age three(3) The neighbors must have thought we were being skinned alive!!!
The chiltepin, called the "mother of all peppers," is thought to be the oldest known of the Capsicum genus, as well as the hottest wild variety in the Americas even hotter than the habanero. They grow on the rocky surfaces of steep slopes and are difficult to find because they are usually protected by other shrubbery.
I might try planting some...........
