Cayenne or Capsicum takes its name from the Greek, 'to bite,' a reference to the hot pungent properties of the fruits and seeds. The plant was described by Linnaeus as C. frutescens proper. Introduced from India into Britain in 1548, the plant was already being cultivated. It appeared in 1771 in Miller's Garden Dictionary. The fruits contain 0.1 - 1.5% capsaicin a substance which stimulates the circulation and alters temperature regulation. Applied topically capsaicin desensitizes nerve endings and makes a good local anesthetic. The seed contains capsicidins, which are thought to have antibiotic properties.
