http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum
Solanum is a large, variable genus of annual plants and perennial plants, forbs, vines, sub-shrubs, shrubs, and small trees. They often have attractive fruit and flowers. Most are poisonous, but many bear edible fruits, leaves, or tubers, and the genus includes several cultivated species, including three major food crops:
· Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum (sometimes classed as Lycopersicon lycopersicum)
· Potato, Solanum tuberosum
· Eggplant, Solanum melongena
Solanum species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species - see list of Lepidoptera which feed on Solanum.
