Petunia Integrifolia
''Petunia integrifolia'' (syn. ''Petunia violacea''), the violet petunia or violetflower petunia, is a species of wild petunia with violet-colored blooms. ''Petunia integrifolia'' is native to Argentina. ''P. integrifolia'' bears flowers approximately 1.5 inch in diameter and the plant is typically smaller and harder to cultivate than the well-known hybrid bedding ''Petunia'' now known correctly as ''Petunia × atkinsiana''. Taxonomy The species was first described as ''Salpiglossis integrifolia'' by William Jackson Hooker in 1831. It was transferred to the genus ''Petunia'' as ''P. integrifolia'' by Hans Schinz and Albert Thellung in 1915. ''Petunia inflata'' had sometimes been considered to be a subspecies of ''P. integrifolia'', but the two have different native ranges, with ''P. inflata'' growing in more northern areas. Hallucinogen ''Petunia violacea'' Lindl. has been reported to be used as a hallucinogen in Ecuador, where the plant has the vernacular name shanín. ...

Solanaceae
The Solanaceae , or nightshades, are a family of flowering plants that ranges from annual and perennial herbs to vines, lianas, epiphytes, shrubs, and trees, and includes a number of agricultural crops, medicinal plants, spices, weeds, and ornamentals. Many members of the family contain potent alkaloids, and some are highly toxic, but many—including tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, bell and chili peppers—are used as food. The family belongs to the order Solanales, in the asterid group and class Magnoliopsida ( dicotyledons). The Solanaceae consists of about 98 genera and some 2,700 species, with a great diversity of habitats, morphology and ecology. The name Solanaceae derives from the genus ''Solanum''. The etymology of the Latin word is unclear. The name may come from a perceived resemblance of certain solanaceous flowers to the sun and its rays. At least one species of ''Solanum'' is known as the "sunberry". Alternatively, the name could originate from the Latin verb ''sol ...

It is native to temperate South America. The plant's flowers, the only white ones found in the ''Petunia'' genus, are 3 to 7 cm long. The commonly-grown garden petunia is a hybrid of ''P. axillaris'' and '' P. integrifolia''. Subspecies ''P. axillaris'' has three subspecies: '' P. a. axillaris'', '' P. a. parodii'', and '' P. a. subandina''. ''P. a. axillaris'' and ''P. a. parodii'' are found in the flat parts of the Pampas, while ''P. a. subandina'' is found in the highlands near the Andes The Andes, Andes Mountains or Andean Mountains (; ) are the longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. The range is long, wide (widest between 18°S – 20°S .... References axillaris {{Solanales-stub ...
