Unfortunately, a quick flip through the book matches that description with
11 chiles.  Ten of which are in the really hot 7-10 range.

Have you tasted one yet?  If it's not too hot, it may be chile candidate
#11.

Are you sure it's from "Mexico" and not New "Mexico"?  That distinction
narrows the field.

There are no descriptions of the plant/bush in the book, so I can't go that
route.

If you discover you have grown little red chiles of death, you can always
make decorative wreaths and/or ristras.  I can send you the instructions
this weekend.
