I like the spreading of the word, but it looks like David Wees of Plant &
Garden didn't do quite enough homework. As Gareth already pointed out, S/B
Chinense, not Chinese.
<<Most peppers belong to one species, Capsicum annuum: but there are others
cultivated like <<the tabasco pepper (Capsicum frutescens) and the
volcanically hot habanero pepper (Capsicum <<chinese) which, despite its
Latin name, did not originate in China.
And there was the reference to masochistic "Chili Heads" instead of
Chileheads or Chile-Heads as Myron noted.
But the one that is my pet peeve is when they say habs and Scotch Bonnets
are the same chile.
<<Painfully spicy habanero pepper looks like a small wrinkled pumpkin. Also
called 'Scotch <<Bonnet', it is popular in the Caribbean.
