Abstract
Capsicum spp. or commonly known as chilli is one of the most important vegetable crops among Malaysians. It has been recognized in decades as an important menu in every dish. It is also being used as spices. There are 2 indigenous species cultivated in Malaysia i.e. Capsicum annum L. Iada besar and Capsicum frutescens L. cili api C. frutescens is the most popular among Malays Chinese and even Indian due to hot taste. Moreover some varieties of C. frutescens have been widely used in ornamental purposes for their attractive characteristics. C. frutescens is a herbaceous annual plant that can be found in lowland area and planted at backyard. Their characteristics can be visibly differentiated on their fruits and vegetative characters such as their size colours and shape. In this study the variation of C. frutescens accessions collected from various location in Malaysia were analyzed using their morphological characteristics based on descriptor provided by AVRDC.
