Capsicum    L. (tribe   Capsiceae  ,   Solanaceae  ) is an American genus distributed ranging from the southern United States of America to central Argentina and Brazil. The genus includes chili peppers, bell peppers, ajíes, habaneros, jalapeños, ulupicas and pimientos, well known for their economic importance around the globe. Within the   Solanaceae  , the genus can be recognised by its shrubby habit, actinomorphic flowers, distinctive truncate calyx with or without appendages, anthers opening by longitudinal slits, nectaries at the base of the ovary and the variously coloured and usually pungent fruits. The highest diversity of this genus is located along the northern and central Andes. Although    Capsicum    has been extensively studied and great advances have been made in the understanding of its taxonomy and the relationships amongst species, there is no monographic treatment of the genus as a whole. Based on morphological and molecular evidence studied from field and herbarium specimens, we present here a comprehensive taxonomic treatment for the genus, including updated information about morphology, anatomy, karyology, phylogeny and distribution. We recognise 43 species and five varieties, including    C.   mirum    Barboza,  sp. nov.  from São Paulo State, Brazil and a new combination    C.   muticum    (Sendtn.) Barboza,  comb. nov. ; five of these taxa are cultivated worldwide (  C.   annuum   L.   var.   annuum  ,   C.   baccatum   L.   var.   pendulum   (Willd.) Eshbaugh,   C.   baccatum   L.   var.   umbilicatum   (Vell.) Hunz. &amp; Barboza,    C.   chinense    Jacq. and    C.   frutescens    L.). Nomenclatural revision of the 265 names attributed to chili peppers resulted in 89 new lectotypifications and five new neotypifications. Identification keys and detailed descriptions, maps and illustrations for all taxa are provided.
