Capsicum (/ËkÃ¦psÉªkÉm/;[3] also known as peppers) is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Its species are native to the Americas, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years.
The piquant (spicy) varieties are commonly called chili peppers, or simply chillies. The large, mild form is called red pepper, green pepper, or bell pepper in North America and United Kingdom and typically just capsicum in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and India.n Spanish-speaking countries, many different names are used for the varieties and preparations. In Mexico, the term chile is used for hot peppers, while the heatless varieties are called pimiento (the masculine form of the word for pepper, which is pimienta).
