Although Capsicum has been extensively studied and great advances have been made in the understanding of its taxonomy and the relationships amongst the species, there is no taxonomic monograph of the genus as a whole. As part of ongoing projects to revise the genera Capsicum and Lycianthes, we present here a comprehensive taxonomic treatment of Capsicum, including updated information about morphology, anatomy, karyology, phylogeny and distribution and a revision of the nomenclature and typification of the 265 names in the genus. An identification key and descriptions of wild and domesticated taxa, together with distribution maps and illustrations for each, are provided.
so it is a catalog entry of peppers, but it has not been done before.
