'''''Solanum''''', the '''nightshades''', '''horsenettles''' and relatives, is a large and diverse [[genus]] of [[annual plant|annual]] and [[perennial plant]]s. They grow as [[forb]]s, [[vine]]s, [[subshrub]]s, [[shrub]]s, and small [[tree]]s, and often have attractive [[fruit]] and [[flower]]s. Many formerly independent genera like ''[[Lycopersicon]]'' (the tomatoes) or ''[[Cyphomandra]]'' are included in ''Solanum'' as [[subgenera]] or [[section (botany)|section]]s today. Thus, the genus nowadays contains roughly 1,500-2,000 [[species]]. The species usually called nightshade in North America and England is Solanum dulcamara, also called bittersweet and woody nightshade. Its foliage and egg-shaped red berries are poisonous, the active principle being solanine, which can cause convulsions and death if taken in large doses. The black nightshade (S. nigrum) is also generally considered poisonous, but its fully ripened fruit and foliage are cooked and eaten in some areas. The generic name was first used by [[Pliny the Elder]] (23-79) for a plant also known as ''strychnos'', most likely ''[[Solanum nigrum|S. nigrum]]''. Its derivation is uncertain, possibly stemming from the [[Latin]] word ''sol'', meaning "sun," referring to its status as a plant of the sun. Another possibility is that the root was ''solare'', meaning "to soothe," or ''solamen'', meaning "a comfort," which would refer to the soothing effects of the plant upon ingestion.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=2ndDtX-RjYkC& |title=CRC World Dictionary of Plant Names |volume=4 R-Z |first=Umberto |last=Quattrocchi |publisher=Taylor and Francis US |year=2000 |isbn=9780849326783 |page=2058}}</ref> Most parts of the plants, especially the green parts and unripe fruit, are [[poison]]ous to humans (although not necessarily to other animals), but many species in the genus bear some edible parts, such as [[fruit]]s, [[leaf|leaves]], or [[tuber]]s. Several species are cultivated, including three globally important food crops: * [[Tomato]], ''S. lycopersicum'' * [[Potato]], ''S. tuberosum'' * [[Eggplant]], ''S. melongena'' Other species are significant food crops regionally, such as [[Ethiopian Eggplant]] and [[Scarlet Eggplant|gilo]] (''[[Solanum aethiopicum|S. aethiopicum]]''), [[naranjilla]] or lulo (''S. quitoense''), Turkey Berry (''[[Solanum torvum|S. torvum]]''), pepino (''[[Solanum muricatum|S. muricatum]]''), or the "[[bush tomato]]es" (several [[Australia]]n species). {{Inc| Solanum (Latin, solamen, solace or quieting). Solanaceae. Nightshade. A vast group of temperate and tropical herbs, shrubs and even trees, comparatively poorly represented in temperate North America, of various horticultural adaptabilities, comprising ornamental subjects and also the potato, tomato, eggplant, ground cherry or physalis, red pepper or capsicum; also medicinal plants. Leaves alternate: infl. mostly sympodial and therefore superaxillary or opposite the lvs.: corolla gamopetalous and rotate or shallow-campanulate, plaited in the bud, the limb angled or shallow-lobed; stamens usually 5, inserted on the throat of the corolla, the anthers narrower or elongated and connivent and mostly opening by an apical pore or slit; ovary usually 2-loculed, ripening into a berry which is sometimes inclosed in the persistent calyx; fls. white, purple or yellow.— The genus finds its greatest extension in Trop. Amer. Of the vast number of species, barely 25 are of much account horticulturally, and half that number will comprise all the species that are popularly well known. One of these is the potato, [[Solanum tuberosum]], one of the leading food plants of the human race. The genus seems to abound in plants with toxic properties, although its bad reputation in this respect is probably exaggerated. The species are herbs in temperate climates, but in warm countries many of them are shrubby and some are small trees. Many of them are climbers. It is impracticable to distribute the few cult. species into the various botanical groups of a great genus, and the following species are therefore assembled mainly on a horticultural plan. S. auriculatum, Ait., is allied to S. verbascifolium, and is sometimes mistaken for it. Lvs. 6-7 in. long, ovate-oblong, acuminate, entire, velvety-tomentose above with branched hairs, more densely so and paler below, axils furnished with small lvs.: corymbs sub- terminal, many-fld.; corolla violet, about 1/2 in. across: berry globose. Afr.—S. betaceum, Cav., is Cyphomandra.—S. cernuum, Velloz. Shrub or small tree, with cyphomandra-like lvs. and the young parts clothed with chaffy hairs: fls. white: fr. globose, hairy, inclosed in the calyx. S. Brazil. B.M. 7491.—S. Commersonii, "Violet," which attracted much attention a few years ago, is S. tuberosum, being similar to, if not identical with the variety known as "Blue Giant."—S. corymbosum, Jacq. A fetid rather weak, unarmed, branched half-shrub: lvs. 2-5 in. long, glabrous except for the ciliate margins, ovate or lanceolate, entire or slightly lobed: fls. about 1/2 in. diam., blue or violet: fr. reddish orange, 1/4 – 2/3 in. diam. Native of Peru.—S. erectum is Cyphomandra betaceum.—S. Pierreanum, Paill. & Bois, has fr. the size of a walnut and shaped like a tomato, scarlet.—S. stoloniferum, Schlecht. & Bouche. Tuber-bearing: lvs. with 3-4 pairs of pinnae, the interposed ones very numerous; lfts. mostly subcordate at the base and acuminate at the apex, sparingly pubescent with scattered flattened hairs on the upper surface, usually only along the veins on the lower surface, but puberulent on both surfaces: calyx glabrous, the lobes about the length of the tube; corolla white.—S. tubingense and S. Darwinianum said to be graft hybrids of Lycopersicum esculentum and S. nigrum produced by Prof. Winkler of Tubingen.—S. verbascifolium, Linn. Lvs. lanceolate-ovate, or ovate-oblong, entire, tomentose, without smaller lvs. in the axils: fls. rather small, white: fr. the size of a small cherry. Widely distributed in the tropics. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Species== Broken out by subgenus. ===Subgenus ''Bassovia''=== '''Section ''Allophylla'''''<br /> * ''[[Solanum granuloso-leprosum]]'' '''Section ''Cyphomandropsis''''' * ''[[Solanum glaucophyllum]]'' <small>Desf.</small> – [[Waxy-leaved Nightshade]]<!-- = S. glaucum, S. malacoxylon --> '''Section ''Pachyphylla''''' * ''[[Tamarillo|Solanum betaceum]]'' <small>Cav.</small> – Tamarillo * ''[[Solanum exiguum]]'' * ''[[Solanum roseum]]'' ===Subgenus ''Leptostemonum''=== [[Image:Solanum atropurpureum fruits.jpg|thumb|right|[[Five-minute Plant]] (''[[Solanum atropurpureum|S. atropurpureum]]'') fruit]] [[Image:Starr_020913-0042_Solanum_robustum.jpg|thumb|right|[[Shrubby Nightshade]] (''[[Solanum robustum|S. robustum]]'') flowers]] [[Image:Starr_980529-4264_Solanum_wendlandii.jpg|thumb|right|[[Giant Potatocreeper]] (''[[Solanum wendlandii|S. wendlandii]]'') flowers]] [[Image:Solanum pyracanthum 05 ies.jpg|thumb|right|[[Porcupine Tomato]] (''[[Solanum pyracanthum|S. pyracanthum]]'') fruit]] {{col-begin|width=70%}} {{col-1-of-2}} '''Section ''Acanthophora''''' * ''[[Solanum aculeatissimum]]'' <small>Jacq.</small> – [[Indian Nightshade]]<!-- = S. khasianum --> * ''[[Solanum atropurpureum]]'' <small>Schrank</small> – [[Five-minute Plant]] * ''[[Solanum capsicoides]]'' – [[Cockroach Berry]], ''polohauaiʻi'' ([[Polynesian language|Polynesian]]) * ''[[Solanum mammosum]]'' – [[Nipplefruit]], Titty Fruit, Cow's Udder, "[[apple of Sodom (disambiguation)|apple of Sodom]]" * ''[[Solanum palinacanthum]]'' <small>[[Michel Félix Dunal|Dunal]]</small><!-- Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia 14 (3) 285-287 --> * ''[[Solanum viarum]]'' <small>Dunal</small> – Tropical Soda Apple '''Section ''Anisantherum'''''<br /> '''Section ''Campanulata'''''<br /> '''Section ''Crinitum'''''<br /> '''Section ''Croatianum'''''<br /> '''Section ''Erythrotrichum''''' * ''[[Solanum robustum]]'' <small>H.L.Wendl.</small> – [[Shrubby Nightshade]] '''Section ''Graciliflorum'''''{{Verify source|date=October 2008}}<br /> '''Section ''Herposolanum''''' * ''[[Solanum wendlandii]]'' <small>Hook.f.</small> – [[Giant Potatocreeper]] '''Section ''Irenosolanum''''' * ''[[Solanum incompletum]]'' <small>Dunal</small> – ''Pōpolo kū mai''<!-- "imcompletum" is lapsus --> ([[Hawaii|Hawai{{okina}}i]]) * ''[[Solanum nelsonii]]'' <small>Dunal</small> – Nelson's Horsenettle, ''{{okina}}Ākia'' (Hawai{{okina}}i) * ''[[Solanum sandwicense]]'' <small>Hook. & Arn.</small> – [[Hawaiian Horsenettle]], ''Pōpolo{{okina}}aiakeakua'' ([[Oahu|O{{okina}}ahu]], [[Kauai|Kaua{{okina}}i]]) '''Section ''Ischyracanthum'''''<br /> '''Section ''Lasiocarpa''''' * ''[[Solanum lasiocarpum]]'' <small>Dunal</small> * ''[[Solanum quitoense]]'' – ''[[lulo]]'' ([[Colombia]]), ''naranjilla'' ([[Ecuador]]) * ''[[Solanum sessiliflorum]]'' – [[Cocona]] '''Section ''Melongena''''' * ''[[Solanum aculeastrum]]'' – [[Soda Apple]], Sodaapple Nightshade, Goat Apple, Poison Apple, "[[bitter-apple]]" * ''[[Solanum campechiense]]'' – [[Redberry Nightshade]] * ''[[Solanum carolinense]]'' <small></small> – [[Carolina Horsenettle]], Radical Weed, Sand Brier, Devil's Tomato, "[[bull nettle]]", "[[tread-softly]]", "[[apple of Sodom (disambiguation)|apple of Sodom]]", "[[wild tomato]]" ([[southeastern United States]]) * ''[[Solanum citrullifolium]]'' <small>A.Braun</small> – Watermelon Nightshade (southern [[United States]]) * ''[[Solanum dimidiatum]]'' <small>Raf.</small> – [[Torrey's Nightshade]] * ''[[Solanum elaeagnifolium]]'' – [[Silver-leaved Nightshade]], Prairie Berry, Silverleaf Nettle, White Horsenettle, Silver Nightshade, "[[bull-nettle]]", "[[trompillo]]" (Spanish);
