Scotch bonnet (also known as Bonney peppers, or Caribbean red peppers)[1] is a variety of chili pepper named for its supposed resemblance to a Scottish tam o' shanter bonnet.[2][3] It is native to the Americas—a cultivar of Capsicum chinense, which originated in the Amazon Basin, Central and South America.[4][5]
