The habanero chili pepper is listed in the range of 100,000-350,000 on the Scoville scale. However, there is a Red Savina pepper, a cultivar of the habanero chili pepper, on the next-hotter rating (350,000-580,000).

It currently ranks as the hottest Chile (hot pepper). It is from Northeastern India and is named the Bhut Jolokia(which translates into "Ghost Chile") and it is also called the Naga Jolokia (King Cobra Chile), and many other regional names in Asia. It is of the Capsicum Chinense species, as are the Habanero, Scotch bonnet, and Datil. In the heat scale measurement called Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the Ghost Chile significantly surpasses all prior measured chiles with a rating over 1,000,000 units.
