Families are important in crop rotation, but most people consider Ancho
Gigantea a pepper (Genus: Capsicum, species: annuum), as opposed to a
tomato (Genus: Solanum, species: lycopersicum,). Other members of the
Solanaceae Family, besides peppers, are potatoes, egg plant, Datura,
Mandragora (mandrake), and Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade). The
last 3 should not be consumed.

Gardeners are mostly interested in Families for crop rotation, Species
for cross pollination (usually unimportant with tomatoes), and Cultivars
for specific color, size, or taste.
