The Natural History of Chile Peppers. Most cultivated peppers â mild bells to hot jalapeÃ±os â are the fruits from different varieties of one plant species, Capsicum annuum. Closely related are Capsicum frutescens, from which Tabasco sauce is made, and C. chinense, the source of the scorchingly hot habanero or Scotch bonnet chile.
Etymology and names. The generic name may come from Latin capsa 'box', presumably alluding to the pods or the Greek word ÎºÎ¬ÏÏÏ kapto 'to gulp'. The name pepper comes from the similarity of the flavor to black pepper, Piper nigrum, although there is no botanical relationship with it or with Sichuan pepper. The original term, chilli (now chile in Mexico) came from the Nahuatl word chÄ«lli, denoting a larger Capsicum variety cultivated at least since 3000 BC, as evidenced by remains found in pottery from Puebla and Oaxaca.
