    Botanically, Piper nigrum produces black, white and green peppercorns - the difference is in the treatment:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pepper
    And a bit more technical:

    It would appear to be a sort of woody vine which is grown amongst other things which support it.
    Red, yellow and green peppers are nothing whatever to do with peppercorn peppers, but are actually related to tomatoes (and the other odd things in the Solanum family).
    The peppercorn tree Schinus molle is no relation to either to either of the above, but gives pink peppercorns (which are somewhat toxic in quantity).

    Yay! Thanks. My roommate asked this question out of the blue, and I've been wondering ever since.
