I think I sincerely know the answer to this question, or part of it. Cultivated peppers come in five species of the genus Capsicum. Everybody knows Capsicum annuum, perhaps the best distributed, responsible for bell peppers, jalapeno, serrano, shishito, aleppo, and the Korean peppers in gochugaru. Three are much less common. C. frutescens has a small handful of species, most recognizabe in North America is Tabasco; C. baccatum has like three cultivars; C. pubescens at least according to wikipedia is localized to Peru.

The last species is Capsicum chinense. This is where almost all of the absurdly hot peppers come from. Habanero, Scotch bonnet, ghost pepper, Trinidad scorpion, Carolina reaper are all cultivars of chinense, which makes them close siblings compared to their cousin jalapeno. I do not know why they are wrinkly, but one possible reason they are (usually) small because they have more flowers per fruit node than C. annuum (which typically has one flower per fruit node) and crowd each other. If they got too big, they'd be more likely to break the stem they're all growing off of. Here is a chinense image with two flowers from the same node. They can grow up to five.

why are the hottest peppers all small and wrinkly . U know that thing's going to fuck you up when it looks like someone's shrivelled nutsack

Capsicum lanceolatum | A very rare pepper species Here is the Capsicum lanceolatum, Scoville Units: 0 to 600 SHU. After more than 50 years, the rare autochthonous species, Capsicum lanceolatum, of Mesoamerica was rediscovered in a virgin remnant of the Guatemala cloud forest.

[crevicedwelling]

the suffix -ensis or -ense means “from that location,” such as in the case the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis = “Alligator from Mississippi.”

like the alligator, or the fungus you refer to, location-based scientific names don’t necessarily mean they’re restricted to that location or that they even naturally occur there at all! Capsicum chinense is the binomial name for the habanero pepper, but the plant is native to the Americas. the Dutch botanist who named it in 1776 got confused because European explorers had already introduced the plant to Asia, where it became a very popular and common crop. and once a scientific name is made, it can’t be changed for any reason other than taxonomy (e.g. someone else described it under a different name already). there’s a lot of these out there—Vespula pennsylvanica is a good one: it’s the Western Yellowjacket, and it doesn’t occur in the eastern half of the US at all.

I’m assuming both the arachnid and fungus P. cubensis were named because that’s where they were first collected, but there could be other good reasons as well. my advice is to not always read too closely into the binomial names—sometimes they are nice and descriptive, but other times they can be quite misleading if you don’t know anything else about the animal.

a male Paraphrynus cubensis I found under some junk in a Miami parking lot.

Plant people!!

Does anyone know when the best time is to sow capsicum chinense? (habanero type) I'm thinking about early February.
