Capsiceae is a taxonomic tribe of bellpeppers and related plants belonging to the Solanoideae subfamily within the family Solanaceae. The tribe was described by Barthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortier in 1827.

Phylogenomes[]

Research from spacer data proved that the genera Lycianthes and Capsicum together form a highly supported clade that placed them in the tribe.[1][2] Phylogenetic networks support placing the genera Capsicum and Lycanthes within a common bifurcating species tree.[3]
