Wee, if you are looking for the hottest pepper int he world it would be the Bhut Jolokia, or other names for it would be the Naja Jolokia, the Ghost Pepper or the California Death Pepper. if you are looking for either the Mexican pepper or the Eastern pepper is hotter, it is the Mexican I'm pretty sure.
