PEPPERCORNS
There are several things called peppers.The fruit of plants of genus Piper or Capsicum are all referred to as "peppers" (actually, Piper fruits are usually called "peppercorns"; black pepper is the dried and ground fruit of the Piper nigrum plant).
I think you might mean Piper Nigrum. It is the black pepper traditionally used as a seasoning. It is a vine that is a true tropical (American zone 10), and has flowers and red fruit. The fruit is dried and used as a spice.
There are a lot of different things called "pepper".MOST of them are fruits. For example, black pepper is the cooked, dried, and ground fruit (including seeds) of the plant Piper nigrum, and bell peppers and chile peppers are both fruits (there are different varieties with varying degrees of "hotness", but bell peppers, ghost peppers, and everything in between are all the same species, Capsicum annuum). Cayenne pepper ( one kind of red pepper) is the ground-up dried fruit of a variety of the same species. A different kind of red pepper is the ripe fruit (sometimes pickled in brine or vinegar) of Piper nigrumagain.However, white pepper is the seeds (without the fruit) of Piper nigrum, and "pepper dulse" is a kind of seaweed.
Long pepper (Piper longum), (Pippali), sometimes called Indian long pepper, is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. Long pepper has a similar, but hotter, taste to its close relative Piper nigrum - from which black, green and white pepper are obtained. The word pepper itself is derived from the Tamil/Malayalam word for long pepper, pippali.

Chili and pepper are both spicy ingredients, but they come from different plants. Chili is a fruit of the Capsicum plant, while pepper is a spice made from the dried berries of the Piper nigrum plant. Chili is typically hotter and used in cooking, while pepper is milder and used as a seasoning.
