Grey captions say what stands behind that particular figure. Breeding, growth habit and fruit characters carry no caption because they rest on the record's sources as a whole rather than citing their own; closing that gap is ordinary outstanding work, not a finished job.
The species here is supported by Peppers: Vegetable and Spice Capsicums. These claims name their own evidence rather than resting on the record's source list as a whole, because a species that distinguishes a variety, or an attribution to a breeding programme, is worth being able to check on its own.
Commonly confused with
These are different varieties. A name shared between them does not make them the same seed.
- different variety
Habanada
Both are heatless habaneros; Habanada is open-pollinated from Cornell, Roulette a commercial hybrid.
Origin & history
An All-America Selections winner: a habanero with the pungency bred out entirely, so the tropical aroma of C. chinense can be eaten by the handful. The name is a joke about the gamble it removes.

Against the rest of the pepper database
Where this variety sits among every pepper we hold a comparable figure for. Position is not merit: earlier is not better than later, and hotter is not better than milder. Only cultivar-level figures are compared, never trial results, and maturity is only ranked against figures counted the same way.
later than 59% of the 252 peppers we hold a figure for. None of these figures state whether they are counted from sowing or from transplant, so they are ranked against each other on the assumption that suppliers use one convention, which is not something any of them says.
milder than 100% of the 249 peppers we hold a figure for.
Traits
Disease resistance
No documented disease resistance, typical of heirlooms and older open-pollinated varieties. See pepper diseases for the cultural playbook that fills the gap.
