The Chinense Species

Q. Hi Dave:

Do you consider the Caribbean Red Hot to be a breed of the habanero?

A. Hello Dave:

The way it works is this: the habanero is a pod type of the species Capsicum chinense, as are Caribbean Red Hots, Chocolate Habanero, Scotch bonnets, Datil peppers and a number of others.
