List Of Capsicum Cultivars
There are four major species of cultivated Capsicum, and within those species are several "taxonomic varieties". The species and varieties include many economically important cultivars with different shapes, colours, and flavours that are grown for different purposes. Some confusion has resulted from the legal term "plant variety", which is used interchangeably with "cultivar" (not with "taxonomic variety").
Major species and their taxonomic varieties:
- Capsicum annuum, which includes bell peppers, cayenne, paprika, tabasco, and jalapeños.
- Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum
- Capsicum baccatum, which includes ají amarillo, ají limon and criolla sella.
- Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum
- Capsicum baccatum var. praetermissum, which includes cumari.
- Capsicum chinense, which includes habanero. Sometimes included within C. annuum.
- Capsicum pubescens, which includes rocoto.
Capsicum frutescens is sometimes distinguished as a species separate from C. annuum, while other botanists consider it and Capsicum annuum to be conspecific.

Famous quotes containing the words list of and/or list:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
