Abstract
The genus Capsicum L. (peppers, paprika - 2n = 24) is a member of the family Solanaceae and comprises the economically important crop species Capsicum annuum L. var. annuum, C. baccatum L. var. pendulum (Willd.) Eshbaugh, C.chinense Jacq., C.pubescens Ruiz et Pavon, and C.frutescens L. While C. annuum L. var. annuum is cultivated all over the world, the remaining species are mostly confined to the American Continent (Pickersgill 1971)
