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, ...

Calliphysalis
''Calliphysalis'' is a monotypic genus of perennial plants in the Physaleae tribe of the nightshade family Solanaceae.Per Axel Rydberg. 1896. The North American species of ''Physalis'' and related genera. '' Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Club'' 4: 297-374; 330, citing Riddell, John L. 1853. New and hitherto unpublished plants of the Southwest, mostly indigenous in Louisiana. ''New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal'' 9:609-618. ''Calliphysalis carpenteri'', known as Carpenter's groundcherry is the only recognized member of the genus. ''C. carpenteri'' is native to sandy soils on the coastal plain regions of south-eastern North America from northern Florida to Louisiana and Arkansas, it was first described from specimens collected in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. Its species name honors the botanical contributions of early Louisiana naturalist William Marbury Carpenter (1811-1848). Taxonomy Prior to 2012, this species was known as ''Physalis carpenteri''.

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 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 plant was long thought to be extinct but a small population was discovered in 1998 by Stedson Stroud. As of 2011, it was considered "effectively extinct in the wild" by experts at Kew Botanical Garden because there were no longer any flowering plants left in the wild. Only one adult ...

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 taxon, 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 άκνηστι� ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
