| Description | Capsicum pubescens is a species of the genus Capsicum (pepper), which is found primarily in Central and South America. The plants, but especially the fruits, are often referred to as "rocoto":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocoto and locoto. As they reach a relatively advanced age and the roots lignify quickly, sometimes the familiar name is tree chili. Of all the domesticated species of peppers, this is the least widespread and systematically furthest away from all others.
