The various varieties of chilli pepper belong to which genus of plants?
"varieties are called ""pimiento"" (the masculine form of the word for pepper, which is ""pimienta""). Several other countries, such as Chile, whose name is unrelated, Perú, Puerto Rico, and Argentina, use ""ají"". In Spain, heatless varieties are called ""pimiento"" and hot varieties ""guindilla"". Also, in Argentina and Spain, the variety ""C. chacoense"" is commonly known as ""putaparió"", a slang expression equivalent to ""damn it"", probably due to its extra-hot flavour. In Indian English, the word ""capsicum"" is used exclusively for ""Capsicum annuum"". All other varieties of hot capsicum are called chilli. In northern India and Pakistan, ""C. annuum"" is also"
"Piper (plant) Piper, the pepper plants or pepper vines (a term used for certain ""Clematis"" in older times), are an economically and ecologically important genus in the family Piperaceae. It contains about 1,000-2,000 species of shrubs, herbs, and lianas, many of which are dominant species in their native habitat. The diversification of this taxon is of interest to understanding the evolution of plants. Pepper plants belong to the magnoliids, which are angiosperms but neither monocots nor eudicots. Their family, Piperaceae, is most closely related to the lizardtail family (Saururaceae), which in fact generally look like smaller, more delicate and amphibious"
"Schinus polygama Schinus polygama, the Hardee peppertree or Chilean pepper tree, is a species of plant in the Anacardiaceae family which is native to Argentina and Chile and naturalized in California. The species name has been spelled ""Schinus polygamus"", which according to the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (article 62.1) is incorrect Latin grammar, and is ""to be corrected"" to ""Schinus polygama"". This is because botanical tradition uses feminine grammatical gender for the genus name ""Schinus"", as is the classical tradition for most genus names of trees that end in -""us"", and ""polygama"""

Though there are only a few commonly used species, there are many cultivars and methods of preparing chili peppers that have different names for culinary use. Green and red bell peppers, for example, are the same cultivar of ""C. annuum"", immature peppers being green. In the same species are the jalapeño, the poblano (which when dried is"
"Schinus Schinus is a genus of flowering trees and tall shrubs in the sumac family, Anacardiaceae. Members of the genus are commonly known as pepper trees. The Peruvian pepper tree (""Schinus molle"") is the source of the spice known as pink peppercorns. They can become an invasive species outside their natural habitats. ""Schinus polygama"", although less well known, is also potentially weedy in mesic areas. The generic name is derived from the Greek word for ""Pistacia lentiscus"", Σχίνος (""schinos""), which it resembles. Over time there has been a fair amount of reclassification within this genus and earlier names may incorrectly"

""C. chinense"" varieties are well known for their exceptional heat and unique flavors. The hottest peppers in the world are members of this species, with Scoville Heat Unit scores of over 1.5 million. Some taxonomists consider them to be part of the species ""C. annuum,"" and they are a member of the ""C. annuum"" complex.

"referred to as ancho), New Mexico, serrano, and other cultivars. Peppers are commonly broken down into three groupings: bell peppers, sweet peppers, and hot peppers. Most popular pepper varieties are seen as falling into one of these categories or as a cross between them. The substances that give chili peppers their pungency (spicy heat) when ingested or applied topically are capsaicin (8-methyl-""N""-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) and several related chemicals, collectively called ""capsaicinoids"". The quantity of capsaicin varies by variety, and on growing conditions. Water stressed peppers usually produce stronger pods. When a habanero plant is stressed, for example low water, the concentration of"
"Chocolate Bhutlah The Chocolate Bhutlah is a strain of chili pepper, originally created by Chad Soleski. The variety was made by accident, via an unintentional cross-pollination. The mother plant was the Red Bhutlah, which is a cross between the Trinidad Douglah (also known as the 7 pot/pod douglah or 7 pod brown), and bhut jolokia (ghost pepper). It's unknown from which variety they were crossed. Chad Soleski gave these cross-pollinated seeds for the Red Bhutlah to Steven Mclaurin, who grew them out and discovered the chocolate-colored pods.

In addition to use as spices and food vegetables, ""Capsicum"" species have also been used as medicines and lachrymatory agents.
