'''''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''
| origin = ? <!--- Mexico, S America, S Europe, garden, etc -->
* [[Potato]], ''S. tuberosum''
* [[Eggplant]], ''S. melongena''
| exposure = ? <!--- full sun, part-sun, semi-shade, shade, indoors, bright filtered (you may list more than 1) -->
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).

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.
