Fasciculatum Group Chilli Pepper

This profile represents the Fasciculatum Group of cultivated peppers, rather than every Capsicum annuum pepper. [USDA GRIN](https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/taxon/taxonomydetail?id=415389) connects the historical botanical name C. annuum var. fasciculatum with C. annuum var. annuum Fasciculatum Group. [Kew](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:44850-2) includes the botanical variety within var. annuum; that broader synonym treatment does not erase the source's specified cultivated group. ## Tasmania TFS 2014–15 — qualified historical variety/group association The guide prints Capsicum annum var. fasciculatum / Chilli. The spelling correction from annum to annuum and the historical variety-to-group interpretation are retained explicitly. This association covers the printed fasciculatum concept; no individual cultivar, fruit form or parentage has been selected, and no Low rating is transferred to all peppers. The [approved TFS 2014–15 guide](https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/landcaretas/pages/101/attachments/original/1466562095/140835_TFSFireResistingPlants_2014_15.pdf?1466562095=), PDF page 2, places this source entry in its Low Flammability category. That is a relative assessment within this Tasmanian guide, which allows low-category plants in the Building Protection Zone as alternatives to more flammable plants. It is not a fireproof guarantee or a numerical score. Match local conditions, keep plants healthy and appropriately watered, allow spacing and remove dead material; all vegetation can burn.
