Characteristics
A recent work treated C. frutescens as a synonym of C. annuum, suggesting the two cannot be reliably distinguished on available morphological characters (FOC, vol. 17). This approach would likely necessitate synonymization of C. chinense and C. galapagoense (Carrizo García et al. 2016).
