There is much confusion about habanero peppers. The word has come to signify any chile pepper in the Capsicum chinense species, though technically there are dozens of pod types within the species, of which habanero is simply one variety. Scotch bonnets and Jamaican hots are also different pod types, closely related to the habanero and part of the Capsicum chinense species but not the same chile. |
