Read about Cyphomandra in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture 

Cyphomandra (from the Greek, referring to the hump-shaped anthers). Solanaceae. South American spineless shrubs or small trees, one of which is sometimes grown for its edible fruit.

The genus is distinguished from Solanum chiefly by the thickened connective of the anthers: the plants are erect and usually stout and the large Lvs. are entire, 3-lobed, or pinnatisect: fls. pedicellate, in racemes, scorpioid cyme-branches, or arising below the nodes; calyx and corolla 5-Iobed, the corolla somewhat rotate, the tube very short; anthers porose or acuminate at apex; ovary 2-celled: fr. an ovoid or oblong fleshy berry, many-seeded.—Some 30 or more species, of little concern to the horticulturist.
