Prunus virginiana, Rubus idaeus and another unknown Rubus species, Solanum tuberosum, Spiraea alba var. The name Solanaceae derives from the genus "Solanum", "the nightshade plant". The larvae feed on "Solanum tuberosum" (potato). It can be confused with other black nightshade species in the "Solanum nigrum" complex. In 1753, Carl Linnaeus described six varieties of "Solanum nigrum" in "Species Plantarum". "Solanum", Latin for nightshade, is the genus of the potato. There are two major subspecies of "Solanum tuberosum"&colon; "andigena", or Andean; and "tuberosum", or Chilean. "Solanum americanum" is a variable taxon. These compounds generally appear as their corresponding glycoside in plants of the genus "Solanum". Within the genus "Solanum", "S. quitoense" is a part of the subgenus Leptostemonum. "Synchytrium endobioticum" is an obligate parasite that infects several plants of the genus "Solanum". His work presented a new concept of the species relationships within the tuber-bearing "Solanum". This is a list of species in the plant genus "Solanum". As a member of the genus "Solanum", it is related to tomato and potato. It is a member of the same genus as the potato, "Solanum".
