description_en: Genus of about 1,400 species of annuals, biennials, herbaceous perennials, and evergreen, semi-evergreen, and deciduous shrubs, trees, and twining climbers from a range of habitats world-wide. The genus includes a number of vegetables, such as potato (S. tuberosum) and aubergine (S. melongena), and also ornamental plants, described below, which are cultivated for their flowers and decorative fruits. The leaves are alternate, and entire, lobed, or pinnately divided. The small, 5-petalled, bell- or shallowly trumpet-shaped, sometimes star-shaped, blue, purple, or white, yellow-anthered flowers are borne singly or in cymes, cyme-like umbels, corymbs, or panicles, from spring to autumn, later followed by fruits. Train climbers on a warm, sunny wall. Shrubs are suitable for a sheltered border. In frost-prone regions, grow tender species in a cool or temperate greenhouse. All parts of most species, especially the fruits of S. capsicastrum and S. pseudocapsicum, can cause severe discomfort if ingested.
