The Fatalii is a chilli pepper of the Capsicum chinense species that originates in central and southern Africa. It is described to have a fruity, citrus flavor with a searing heat that is comparable to the standard habanero. The plant produces fruit measuring 7½cm (3in) long and 3cm (1¼in) wide.[1]

The Scoville Food Institute lists the fatalii as the sixth hottest pepper with Scoville units ranging from 125,000 - 325,000 units.
