Solanum mammosum is commonly known as Nipplefruit, Titty Fruit, Cow's Udder, or, ambiguously, "Apple of Sodom"[1]. The Japanese call it Fox Face. It is an annual to perennial plant in the Solanaceae family, part of the Solanum or nightshade genus, and a relative of the tomato and potato. This poisonous fruit is native to South America, but has been naturalized in the Greater Antilles, Central America and Caribbean.
The plant is grown for ornamental purposes, in part because of the distal end of the fruits resembling to a human breast, while the proximal end looks like a cow's udder.
