Talk:Capsicum annuum

Pasilla
Pasilla isn't linked to from any of the Chili pepper pages, but I think it is another name for Poblano (don't know for sure). I'd like to see a link to it from one of the pages, but am not sure where it belongs.

I am concerned that there is (to my reading of english) an implication that the hot pepper is native to Mexcio. It is at least "hotly" disputed, if not simply untrue.

Now, it may be that THIS PARTICULAR DOMESTICATED pepper is native to some lab or farm in Mexico, but a large body of research concludes that the Capsicum (pepper) is native to the Andean region (perhaps on either side of a modern border between Peru and Bolivia, near Cuzco) of "Peru"190.81.8.158 (talk) 01:52, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Paprika
Paprika should be mentioned in this article. Badagnani (talk) 00:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Not an annual
No capsicum is an annual. Annuums often die after the first year, but not necessarily. Tepins (c. annuum) can sometimes survive for at least 30 years. http://www.saunalahti.fi/~thietavu/Chili/L_wild.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.148.75.176 (talk) 02:38, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

A new section of nomenclature and taxonomy has been added based on the following....

Small interesting point to note perhaps
This is used in a shower wash called " Original Source Dragon Fruit and Capsicum ". Perhaps it is article worthy, perhaps not. I just wanted to throw it out there. 87.194.40.167 (talk) 11:41, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Possible synonym: Capsicum frutescens
Please see Talk:Capsicum frutescens. Thanks. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:37, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

When domesticated?
Was the plant domesticated by the natives of Central America? Or was it the Spanish? --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 18:46, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Location of first domestication
Where was Capsicum first domesticated? What species? The USDA shows one of its two varieties of C. annuum as native and the other as introduced. DCDuring (talk) 23:41, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Productivity
I found some interesting data: the world production of chillies and peppers in 2012 was 31.2 million tonnes, with China being the biggest producer - 16 million tonnes. If this is a reliable source, then I think it's worth to add this information into the article - http://www.factfish.com/statistic/chillies+and+peppers,+green,+production+quantity —  Ark25  (talk) 21:51, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Ñora
There is no mention of the ñora variety which Spanish Wikipedia states as being a cultivar of Capsicum annuum. Perhaps it has a different English name. It is also known as bola in some Spanish locales, apparently. Mike Hayes (talk) 17:55, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've added it as a variety. I am including a link to Spanish Wikipedia because it is very different from the common variety. Mike Hayes (talk) 18:44, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Common name
Does this species have a common name? Because I have a character that's an anthropomorphic version of this! Booger-mike (talk) 23:04, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
 * From Chili Pepper "Cultivars grown in North America and Europe are believed to all derive from Capsicum annuum"; In common usage (in those areas) 'pepper' or 'chili' is usually going to refer to Capsicum annuum Falconjh (talk) 14:24, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Sport Peppers?
Ugh. Sorry. I'm not a wiki-editor. But I've been searching for information about what, exactly, Sport Peppers are and I keep getting redirected to a generic page on peppers.

Please, stub the Sport Peppers link so that this nonsense doesn't happen again.

What possible use is it to go from the very specific to the uselessly broad in a search? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:1618:E07E:34CF:1892:E6EC:AB46 (talk) 17:16, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

 * The 'Lead' section should be switched back to the previous format. The article shouldn't read like a paper. 208.255.99.66 (talk) 16:04, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

unclear sentence/ wording
"It also has many varieties and common names including paprika, chili pepper, jalapeño, cayenne, bell pepper, and many more with over 200 variations within the species.[5]" what does "variatiON" mean here or refer to (or what is it supposed to mean)?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:F61:1640:ED5F:6F04:A7F3:151B (talk) 13:08, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
