Default Uyababa pepper

Huntsman sent me some pepper seed that I think was Uyababa; I had trouble reading the label on the package so that is what I am calling it for now. This is a pepper machine. The plants were set out when I set out all of my hot peppers and they are towering over all the others. All 3 are over 6 feet tall and they are making peppers like mad. The peppers are similar in looks to cayennes except they are slightly shorter, smoother, straighter, and a little fatter. They are extremely hot, hotter than the Malagueta's so far this year. I would guess somewhere around 3 times hotter than cayenne with a good pepper flavor. They are the easiest pepper I have ever grown to pick. The peppers hang down in the shade of the plant and ripen to a very bright red and pluck off easily without breaking the limbs that support them.
I tried looking this pepper up and could find no information on it. I just started saving some seed from it today and will save more near the end of the season.
