<h3><i><b>About Capsicum annuum</b></i></h3>
<p><i><b>Capsicum annuum</b></i><span> is a species of the plant genus </span><i>Capsicum</i><span> (chillies or peppers and capsicums or bell peppers) native to southern </span>North America<span> and northern </span>South America<span>.</span><sup id="cite_ref-GRIN_1-1" class="reference">[1]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference">[4]</sup><span> 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 </span>bell peppers<span>, </span>jalapeños<span>, </span>New Mexico chile<span>, and </span>cayenne peppers<span>. Cultivars descended from the wild American bird pepper are still found in warmer regions of the Americas.</span><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference">[5]</sup><span> In the past, some woody forms of this species have been called </span><i>C. frutescens</i><span>, but the features that were used to distinguish those forms appear in many populations of </span><i>C. annuum</i><span> and are not consistently recognizable features in </span><i>C. frutescens</i><span> species.</span></p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Characteristics">Characteristics</span></h2>
<p>Although the species name<span> </span><i>annuum</i><span> </span>means “annual” (from the<span> </span>Latin<span> </span><i>annus</i><span> </span>"year"), the plant is not an<span> </span>annual<span> </span>but is frost tender.<sup id="cite_ref-rhs_7-0" class="reference">[7]</sup><span> </span>In the absence of winter frosts it can survive several seasons and grow into a large, shrubby<span> </span>perennial<span> </span>herb.<sup id="cite_ref-SpicePages_8-0" class="reference">[8]</sup><span> </span>The single flowers are an off-white (sometimes purplish) color while the stem is densely branched and up to 60 cm (24 in) tall. The fruit are<span> </span>berries<span> </span>that may be green, yellow, orange or red when ripe.<sup id="cite_ref-Development2006_9-0" class="reference">[9]</sup><span> </span>While the species can tolerate most frost-free climates,<span> </span><i>C. annuum</i><span> </span>is especially productive in warm and dry climates.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact">[<i><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Pollination">Pollination</span></h2>
<p>While generally self-pollinating, insect visitation is known to increase the fruit size and speed of ripening, as well as to ensure symmetrical development. Pepper flowers have nectaries at the base of the corolla, which helps to attract pollinators. The<span> </span>anthers<span> </span>do not release pollen except via<span> </span>buzz pollination, such as provided by<span> </span>bumble bees.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference">[10]</sup></p>

<p>The species is a source of popular sweet peppers and hot chilis with numerous varieties cultivated all around the world, and is the source of popular spices such as<span> </span>cayenne,<span> </span>chili, and<span> </span>paprika<span> </span>powders.</p>
<p>Common naming in English falls generally in line with the flavor and size of the variant. Larger, sweeter variants are called "capsicums" in Australia and New Zealand and red or green peppers,<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference">[11]</sup><span> </span>or<span> </span>"bell peppers"<span> </span>in the United States and Great Britain.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference">[12]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-morrisons_13-0" class="reference">[13]</sup><span> </span>The smaller, hotter varieties are called chillis,<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference">[14]</sup><span> </span>chilies, chile, or chili peppers, or in parts of the US, "peppers".</p>
<p>Capsinoid<span> </span>chemicals provide the distinctive tastes in<span> </span><i>C. annuum</i><span> </span>variants. In particular,<span> </span>capsaicin<span> </span>creates a burning sensation ("hotness"), which in extreme cases can last for several hours after ingestion. A measurement called the<span> </span>Scoville scale<span> </span>has been created to describe the hotness of peppers and other foods.</p>
