The bhut jolokia (Template:Lang-asভূত-জলকীয়া), also known as naga jolokia, naga morich, bih jolokia, ghost pepper, ghost chili pepper, red naga chilli, and ghost chilli is an inter specific hybrid chili pepper cultivated in the Indian states of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur. It grows in the Indian states of Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur. There was initially some confusion and disagreement about whether the bhut jolokia was a Capsicum frutescens or a Capsicum chinense pepper, but DNA tests showed it to be an interspecies hybrid, mostly C. chinense with some C. frutescens genes
