2- Taxonomy of the Tribe Capsiceae
2.1- Genus Capsicum
+ Overview
Capsicum (also known as peppers) is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Capsiceae in the subfamily Solanoideae of the nightshade family Solanaceae.
Its species are native to the Americas, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years. In modern times, it is cultivated worldwide, and has become a key element in many cuisines. In addition to use as spices and food vegetables, Capsicum species have also found use in medicines.
+ The Names
The fruit of Capsicum plants have a variety of names depending on place and type. 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 "capsicum" in New Zealand, Australia, Singapore and India. The fruit is called paprika in some other countries (although paprika can also refer to the powdered spice made from various capsicum fruit).
The generic name may come from Latin capsa 'box', presumably alluding to the pods or the Greek word κάπτω kapto 'to gulp'. The name "pepper" comes from the similarity of the flavour to black pepper, Piper nigrum, although there is no botanical relationship with it or with Sichuan pepper. The original term, chilli (now chile in Mexico) came from the Nahuatl word chilli, denoting a larger Capsicum variety cultivated at least since 3000 BC, as evidenced by remains found in pottery from Puebla and Oaxaca.
+ Species and varieties
Capsicum consists of 20 - 27 species, five of which are domesticated:
1- Capsicum annuum
2- Capsicum baccatum
3- Capsicum chinense
4- Capsicum frutescens
5- Capsicum pubescens.

2.2- Genus Lycianthes
+ Overview
Lycianthes is a genus of plants from the nightshade family (Solanaceae), found in both the Old World and the New World, but predominantly in the latter.
Lycianthes is apparently closely related to the chili and bell peppers (Capsicum). However, it was long confused with the nightshades (Solanum), and several little-known "Solanum" species presumably belong here.
Source: Lycianthes - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
+ Species
It contains roughly 150 species, mostly from tropical America, with 35-40 species in Asia and the Pacific.
