I clicked hoping to see a poster that I could purchase for my wall, haha.
Could someone pls explain why this is interesting for HN? Was there a new species added to the canon (if so, this is a textbook example of burying the Lede)?
It reads like a Wikipedia entry, which makes me wonder why it’s not posted there.
- wolverine876 4y agoAre you expecting scientific research to be posted to Wikipedia?

- navi0 4y agoNot necessarily, but is this research? It looks more like a catalog entry of peppers, which presumably has been done many times before and which is why I was hoping someone could help explain the significance of this paper/post (i.e., why?).
- bryanrasmussen 4y agofrom the abstract: Although Capsicum has been extensively studied and great advances have been made in the understanding of its taxonomy and the relationships amongst the species, there is no taxonomic monograph of the genus as a whole. As part of ongoing projects to revise the genera Capsicum and Lycianthes, we present here a comprehensive taxonomic treatment of Capsicum, including updated information about morphology, anatomy, karyology, phylogeny and distribution and a revision of the nomenclature and typification of the 265 names in the genus. An identification key and descriptions of wild and domesticated taxa, together with distribution maps and illustrations for each, are provided. so it is a catalog entry of peppers, but it has not been done before.
