You're right.... and the error started out here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum. See the entry under "Species" for S.
capsicum. It's even a link to the page for the genus Capsicum. I was on
autopilot i think... saw Capsicum and Chilli together and missed the
difference between Solanaceae and Solanum.

Perhaps a wiki edit is in order!
