Capsicum annuum conoides is a species of pepper that is commonly used in cooking. It is also referred to by different synonyms such as Capsicum frutescens, Capsicum longum and Capsicum serrano. The term "frutescens" is used to describe a plant that grows in a bush-like formation, while "longum" refers to the elongated shape of this pepper. "Serrano" is another name for this species of pepper, which is named after the mountainous regions in Mexico from where it originates. All these synonyms are commonly used to refer to the same species of pepper, which is primarily used in Mexican cuisine to add a spicy kick to dishes.
