'''''Solanum''''' is a large, variable [[genus]] of [[annual plant]]s and [[perennial plant]]s, [[forb]]s, [[vine]]s, [[sub-shrub]]s, [[shrub]]s, and small [[tree]]s. They often have attractive fruit and flowers.

* [[Tomato]], ''Solanum lycopersicum''
* [[Potato]], ''Solanum tuberosum''
* [[Eggplant]], ''Solanum melongena''
''Solanum'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species - see [[list of Lepidoptera which feed on Solanum]].
