Is this key still accurate?

Hi everyone. I'm looking for good guide on how to visually identify the 5 different domesticated pepper species. Searched on Google and YT but tbh, the guides there weren't very good.

I bought an old book on peppers: Peppers of the World- An Identification Guide. And it had this key. Does anyone know if this is still accurate? The book is from 1996, so almost 30 years old and a lot of other information is now outdated but perhaps the key traits between the species are still the same? :)

Would also love suggestions to good quality guides on how to ID the pepper species if anyone has any recommendations :)

I am no pepper specialist, but I would say that that key would still be good. Don't think that there have been any major changes within pepper species since then
