Capsicum frutescens
The specific epithet “frutescens” means “shrubby” or “bushy.”
Its center of origin is the Amazon basin and lowlands of Columbia and Peru. In the United States it more commonly cultivated in the South.
Flower corollas are usually greenish-white (without diffuse spots), solitary (occasionally 2 or more),
the seeds are straw colored, and fruit flesh often soft.
Some of the better-known representatives of this species include the ‘Tabasco’ pepper, and squash peppers that are distinctive for their hot, fiery flavor.
