[Specifically, this is a wild variety of small red pepper fruits that are very hot (peppery). The leaves are not hot but are very tasty as a vegetable, especially when mixed with other vegetables. Generically, this word is also used of other kinds of peppers including chili. The wild red pepper fruit is eaten by some people but is also used to treat a type of blight affecting a corn crop.]
