I don't know every Variety, but the hot jalapeno should have 5,000-10,000 SHU and the medium hot Jalapeno 3,500-5,000.

Why exactly the Medium Hot Jalapeno got abbreviated to jalapeno-M,

while the Hot Jalapeno doesn't get abbreviated to Jalapeno-H ????

I really don't know.

PS. If you like hotter varieties of Jalapenos and don't mind growing a hybrid, try Mitla. Or if you prefer OP heirloom types try to find "hot jalapeno" sometimes called "hot jalapeno chili"
