description: <i>Capsicum annuum</i> is a domesticated species of the plant genus <i>Capsicum</i> native to southern North America and northern South America. The three species <i>C. annuum</i>, <i>C. frutescens</i> and <i>C. chinense</i> all evolved from a single common ancestor located somewhere in the northwest Brazil - Colombia area. <i>Capsicum annuum</i> is the most common and extensively cultivated of the five domesticated capsicums. The species is a source of popular "sweet peppers":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_peppers and "hot chilis":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_pepper with numerous varieties cultivated all around the world. In American English the plant is commonly known as a chili pepper or bell pepper. In British English, the sweet varieties are called red or green peppers and the hot varieties chillies, whereas in Australian and Indian English the name capsicum is commonly used for bell peppers exclusively and chilli is often used to encompass the hotter varieties.
