The moral of capsaicin is to live. Because its appearance is similar to balsam wood, it is easy to be confused. But it doesn't have the fragrance of balsam wood, but the smell of pepper. Although ornamental value and medicine are not as good as the latter, but still can live their own appearance.
1. Odor: its odor is quite different from that of Pistacia weinmannifolia. It can be seen from the name that the former has the taste of pepper while the latter has a certain fragrance. If you can't smell it, you can pick a leaf and crush it. Pepper is the strong taste of pepper wood.
2. Leaves: the shape of the two leaves is very similar, but there is a little difference. There is a leaf on the top of the branch of capsaicin, and two on the Pistacia weinmannifolia. And if you look carefully, you will find that the former leaves are opposite, and two leaves grow on the same branch. The latter leaves are mutual, two leaves grow on two branches, just close to each other.
3. Fruit: the fruit of pepper is green brown, while the fruit of Pistacia weinmannifolia is red. The former is darker, while the latter is brighter.
