The genus is distributed worldwide and is particularly diverse in [[South America]].
-== Distribution and habitat ==
+==Description==
-The majority of Solanum species are native to the [[tropical]] regions of the Americas, but the range of the genus extends into temperate regions as well. Some of the more well-known Solanum species include the potato (S. tuberosum), the tomato (S. lycopersicum), and the eggplant or aubergine (S. melongena).
+''Solanum'' species are typically herbaceous plants, shrubs, or small trees. They often have simple, alternate leaves, and their flowers are usually five-petaled and star-shaped. The fruit is typically a berry, which can be either edible or toxic depending on the species.

+===Morphology===
-Many members of Solanum have been bred for their edible fruits. Several species are cultivated as ornamental plants for their attractive flowers and foliage. Solanum species are used as food plants by the larvae of some [[Lepidoptera]] species.
+The leaves of ''Solanum'' plants are often lobed or compound, and the plants may have spines or prickles. The flowers are usually white, purple, or yellow, and they have a characteristic five-lobed corolla. The stamens are often prominent and yellow.

'''Solanum''' is a large and diverse [[genus]] of [[flowering plants]], which include two food crops of high economic importance, the [[potato]] and the [[tomato]]. It also contains the [[nightshades]] and [[horse nettles]], as well as numerous plants cultivated for their ornamental flowers and fruit.

== Description ==
Solanum species show a wide range of growing habits, such as annual and perennials, vines, subshrubs, shrubs, and small trees. Many formerly independent genera like Lycopersicon (the tomatoes) or Cyphomandra are now included in Solanum as subgenera or sections. Thus, the genus today contains roughly 1,500-2,000 species.

== Distribution and habitat ==
The majority of Solanum species are native to the [[tropical]] regions of the Americas, but the range of the genus extends into temperate regions as well. Some of the more well-known Solanum species include the potato (S. tuberosum), the tomato (S. lycopersicum), and the eggplant or aubergine (S. melongena).

== Uses ==
Many members of Solanum have been bred for their edible fruits. Several species are cultivated as ornamental plants for their attractive flowers and foliage. Solanum species are used as food plants by the larvae of some [[Lepidoptera]] species.
