| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is known that Capsicum pubescens and C. chinense are distributed on Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi islands, Indonesia. However, in Maluku Province of Indonesia and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), these two species were not found. This result would be very informative to consider dispersal routes of Capsicum spp. to Asia. Fruits, seeds, leaves, flowers, and roots were used to treat various ailments in Maluku Province and the FSM: fruits for wounds (Maluku) and painful joints, eye diseases, diarrhea, toothaches, and headaches (FSM); seeds for toothaches (FSM); leaves for boils, fever convulsion, diarrhea, eye diseases, and toothaches (Maluku) and eye diseases and wounds (FSM); flowers for promoting childbirth or blood expulsion in pregnant women (FSM); and roots for promoting blood expulsion in pregnant women (Maluku) and wounds (FSM). It is confirmed that well-known remedies (fruits for diarrhea and leaves for wounds/boils) in Oceania are also applied in these two regions.
