Description
Capsicum annuum is a species of the plant genus Capsicum native to southern North America and northern South America. This species is the most common and extensively cultivated of the five domesticated capsicums. The species encompasses a wide variety of shapes and sizes of peppers, both mild and hot, such as bell peppers, jalape?os, and cayenne peppers. Cultivars are descended from the wild American bird pepper still found in warmer regions of the Americas.
