But it's not a habanero or a jalapeno! I'm not sure what species it is, exactly. (That might be a picture of a jalapeno, actually, but I mean the bigger ones.) It's a "chili pepper", but bell peppers are chili peppers too! It's the sweet pepper that's long and pointy. The yellow ones like it are called "banana peppers".

(And both jalapenos and chili peppers are Capiscuum anuum.!)

Whoa! I just discovered that green peppers are simply immature red (bell) peppers, like green and red tomatoes. Maybe I should call them "green red-peppers" instead.

Woops, I meant to edit out "I'm not sure what species it is".
