Eg, chilli pepper (8)

I believe the answer is:

capsicum

'eg chilli pepper' is the definition.
(chilli pepper is a kind of capsicum)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for capsicum that I've seen before include "American pepper" , "Pepper supplier" , "Pepper plant" , "Fruit crop" , "Eg, chilli pepper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
