I saw something like them in Parks seed catalog. From the description
and the picture, I'd guess they are like short stubby jalapenos, but
much hotter. About like a thick-walled hot cherry pepper, and twice as
hot as a serrano pepper.

They looked like jalapenos, and I don't remember if the Scoville rating
was 10000 or 25000, but habanero-type hot peppers are usually 100000+
Scovilles.

From Park Seed:

The Name Says it All!
Thick-fleshed fruits mature from green to chocolate to red!

65 days. Though not nearly as hot as a Habanero, Tears of Fire
will earn its name with the first bite! The heat has been
measured at well above 30,000 Scovilles!

Vigorous plants are very heavy-yielding, giving you a terrific
harvest of thick-fleshed fruits. As the peppers ripen, they pass
from green to chocolate-brown to red, with all colors present at
once for a spectacular ornamental display!
