Certain varieties of peppers, particularly those in the Capsicum genus, can have thorns, with the most notable being the "thorny" varieties like Capsicum baccatum and some cultivars of Capsicum chinense. These thorns typically develop on the stems and leaves and serve as a defense mechanism against herbivores. While not all pepper plants exhibit this trait, those that do can be quite striking and unique in appearance.
