Pepper classification

I found this paper online - it describes all the different types of peppers, and I found it very useful.

Thanks. It is very useful, as far as it goes. I didn't see any mention of anything hotter than habanero. There's quite a few now of the habanero crosses coming out of India, like "Ghost" peppers. I find them too hot to eat and little flavor but great to dry and use in the garden to repel mammals large and small.

Thanks! Looks good. I saved it on my library and will read it on my lunch hour next week at work when I don't have Internet connection.
