A hugely diverse genus of about 1,400 species that includes annuals, biennials, perennials, shrubs, trees and climbers coming from habitats all over the world.

Many species are poisonous but the well known exceptions are Solanum melongena (Aubergine) and Solanum tuberosum or potato! In South America the fruits of certain species are used as they are very attractive to cockroaches, mites and insects – to whom they are fatal…

The Chilean potato tree (S. crispum) often looks and behaves like a tree but is actually a climber that grows wild in Chile and Peru.
