AboutLeírás

Capsicum chinense, commonly known as a "habanero-type pepper", is a species of chili pepper native to the Americas. C. chinense varieties are well known for their unique flavors and, in many cases, exceptional heat. The hottest peppers in the world are members of this species, with a Scoville heat unit score of 2.69 million measured in the C. chinense cultivar Pepper X in 2023. Some taxonomists consider C. chinense to be within the species C. annuum, and they are a member of the C. annuum complex; however, C. chinense and C. annuum pepper plants can sometimes be distinguished by the number of flowers or fruit per node – two to five for C. chinense and one for C. annuum – though this method is not always accurate. The two species can also hybridize and generate inter-specific hybrids. C. frutescens may be the ancestor to the C. chinense species.

A kínai paprika (Capsicum chinense) a burgonyafélék családjába tartozó növényfaj. Az elnevezés megtévesztő, ugyanis ez a faj éppúgy Dél-, illetve Közép-Amerikából származik, mint a többi paprikaféle.

Capsicum chinense grows in wet tropical and subtropical forests where native communities cultivate it around their chakras or in-home gardens | between 100 and 800 (–1 | 800) m elevation. Wild populations in northern Brazil grow in lowlands and disperse spontaneously in fallow agriculture areas | before the beginning of the rainy period.
