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 ...

Solanoideae
Solanoideae is a subfamily of the flowering plant family Solanaceae, and is sister to the subfamily Nicotianoideae. Within Solanaceae, Solanoideae contains some of the most economically important genera and species, such as the tomato (''Solanum lycopersicum''), potato (''Solanum tuberosum''), eggplant or aubergine (''Solanum melongena''), chili and bell peppers (''Capsicum'' spp.), mandrakes ('' Mandragora'' spp.), and jimson weed (''Datura stramonium''). This subfamily consists of several well-established tribes: Capsiceae, Datureae, Hyoscyameae, Juanulloeae, Lycieae, Nicandreae, Nolaneae, Physaleae, Solandreae, and Solaneae. The subfamily also contains the contended tribes Mandragoreae and Jaboroseae. Tribal relationships The relationship between the tribes has recently been well described. Nicandreae is the most basal tribe of the family, placing sister to the other 9 (or by some counts 11) tribes. Datureae lies sister to Nicandreae, Physaleae, Capsiceae, and Solaneae ...

Acnistus Arborescens
''Iochroma arborescens'' is a species of flowering plant in the genus ''Iochroma'', belonging to the nightshade family Solanaceae. Formerly it was considered the single species in the monotypic genus ''Acnistus''. Common names include gallinero (= 'henhouse'), mata-gallina (= 'chicken-killer'), fruta-de-sabiá (= 'thrush-fruit'), hollowheart, wild tobacco, siyou, bastard sirio, ''galán arbóreo'', ''tabaco de monte'' (= 'mountain tobacco'), ''nigüito'', ''marieneira'', ''güitite'', and ''tabak djab'' (= 'devil's tobacco').Francis, J. K''Acnistus arborescens''.USDA Forest Service, International Institute of Tropical Forestry, Jardín Botánico Sur, Puerto Rico. Etymology The former genus name ''Acnistus'' has been claimed to be a compound of the Greek prefix 'a-' and Latin 'cnistus' misreading of Latin 'crista' - a crest ? which would give the meaning 'without a crest'. A more likely derivation, however, is from the single Homeric Greek word άκνηστις (pron. 'akneestis' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mellissia
''Mellissia'' was formerly a monotypic genus in the family Solanaceae with the single species, ''Mellissia begoniifolia'' (Saint Helena boxwood), endemic to the island of Saint Helena. It was named by Joseph Dalton Hooker in honour of John Charles Melliss, a 19th-century engineer and amateur naturalist who worked on Saint Helena. The plant is now known correctly as ''Withania begoniifolia (Roxb.) Hunz. & Barboza'', the genus Mellissia having been subsumed in the genus Withania.Kew: Plants of the World Online http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/?q=Mellissia+begoniifolia. Retrieved 23.46pm on Wednesday 8/4/20 The plant formerly known as ''Mellissia begoniifolia'' is notable for the subcampanulate calyx which encloses the white corolla, and is strongly accrescent in fruit, as in certain species of Physalis e.g. ''Physalis philadelphica''. Like Physalis, the species belongs to tribe Physaleae of the Solanaceae, but (within that tribe) to subtribe Withaninae, not Physalinae. The pl ...

Physalis Alkekengi
''Alkekengi officinarum'', the bladder cherry, Chinese lantern, Japanese-lantern, strawberry groundcherry, or winter cherry, is a species of flowering plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae. It is a close relative of the new world ''Calliphysalis carpenteri'' (Carpenter's groundcherry) and a somewhat more distant relative to the members of the ''Physalis'' genus. This species is native to the regions covering Southern Europe to South Asia and Northeast Asia. Description It is easily identifiable by the large, bright orange to red papery covering over its fruit, which resembles paper lanterns. It is a perennial herbaceous plant growing to 40–60 cm tall, with spirally arranged leaves 6–12 cm long and 4–9 cm broad. The flowers are white, with a five-lobed corolla 10–15 mm across, with an inflated basal calyx which matures into the papery orange fruit covering, 4–5 cm long and broad. And it has one variety, ''Alkekengi officinarum'' var. ''franch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Oryctes (plant)
''Oryctes'' is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family containing the single species ''Oryctes nevadensis'', which is known by the common name Nevada oryctes. This rare plant is native to a small area of desert straddling the California - Nevada border, where it grows in habitat with deep sand. It is difficult to estimate its abundance because the plant is only seen in years with certain rainfall amounts and temperature ranges. This is a small annual herb growing from a taproot and producing sticky, scaly foliage, growing up to about 20 centimeters in maximum height. The leaves are 1 to 3 centimeters long, linear in shape to oval and divided into lobes, sometimes wavy along the edges. The inflorescences are umbels of a few tiny flowers each, emerging from leaf axils. The flower is purplish and rounded into an urn An urn is a vase, often with a cover, with a typically narrowed neck above a rounded body and a footed pedestal.
