Lycianthes Australis
''Lycianthes'' is a genus of plants from the nightshade family (Solanaceae), found in both the Old World and the New World, but predominantly in the latter. It contains roughly 150 species, mostly from tropical America, with 35-40 species in Asia and the Pacific. Characteristics ''Lycianthes'' is apparently closely related to the chili and bell peppers (''Capsicum''). However, it was long confused with the nightshades (''Solanum''), and several little-known ''Solanum'' species presumably belong here.Solanaceae Source: A global taxonomic resource for the nightshade family Retrieved 25 June 2015.

Lycianthes Rantonnetii
''Lycianthes rantonnetii'', the blue potato bush or Paraguay nightshade, is a species of flowering plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae, native plant, native to South America. Growing to about tall and broad, it is a rounded evergreen shrub with a somewhat lax habit. A profusion of trumpet-shaped, bright blue-purple flowers with a prominent yellow eye appear in summer, followed by red berries. It is widely cultivated and may be hardiness (plants), hardy in mild or coastal areas. Alternatively it can be grown in a container and brought under cover in winter. It requires a sheltered location in full sun. Though related to food plants like the potato and tomato, all parts of the plant are considered toxic to humans. It has been given the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. The species is named for Barthélémy Victor Rantonnet, a 19th-century French horticulturalist. ''Lycianthes rantonnetii'' has previously been placed in ''Solanum'', a huge genus which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nonochton
''Nonochton'' is the Classical Nahuatl name for a plant whose identity is uncertain. Suggested plants include ''Portulaca'', '' Pereskiopsis'', and '' Lycianthes mociniana'', a plant now called '' tlanochtle'' in the local variety of modern Nahuatl spoken by highland farmers that cultivate it for its fruit. Medicinal uses In Aztec medicine, ''nonochton'' was used as an ingredient in a remedy for pain at the heart: See also *Aztec entheogenic complex The ancient Aztecs employed a variety of entheogenic plants and animals within their society.

Taxa
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the int ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pepino
''Solanum muricatum'' is a species of evergreen shrub native to South America and grown for its sweet edible fruit. It is known as ''pepino dulce'' ("sweet cucumber" in English, in order to differentiate it from cucumber which is also called "pepino" in Spanish) or simply pepino; the latter is also used for similar species such as ''" S. mucronatum"'' (which actually seems to belong in the related genus '' Lycianthes''). The pepino dulce fruit resembles a melon (''Cucumis melo'') in color, and its flavor recalls a succulent mixture of honeydew and cucumber, and thus it is also sometimes called pepino melon or melon pear. Another common name, "tree melon", is more often used for the papaya (''Carica papaya'') though the pepino dulce plant generally does not look much like a tree; it looks more like a ground cover, trailing plant. The present species is, however, a close relative of other nightshades cultivated for their fruit, including the tomato (''S. lycopersicum'') and t ...

Nahuatl
Nahuatl (; ), Aztec, or Mexicano is a language or, by some definitions, a group of languages of the Uto-Aztecan language family. Varieties of Nahuatl are spoken by about Nahua peoples, most of whom live mainly in Central Mexico and have smaller populations in the United States. Nahuatl has been spoken in central Mexico since at least the seventh century CE. It was the language of the Aztec/ Mexica, who dominated what is now central Mexico during the Late Postclassic period of Mesoamerican history. During the centuries preceding the Spanish and Tlaxcalan conquest of the Aztec Empire, the Aztecs had expanded to incorporate a large part of central Mexico. Their influence caused the variety of Nahuatl spoken by the residents of Tenochtitlan to become a prestige language in Mesoamerica. After the conquest, when Spanish colonists and missionaries introduced the Latin alphabet, Nahuatl also became a literary language. Many chronicles, grammars, works of poetry, administrative docu ...
