Ah, once again! The tomato
family.
The “tomato” family is a big
one indeed, with nearly 4,000
different species represented
widely around the world, mostly
in warm regions, but there are
also plenty of species in the tem
perate zones. These species are
represented by herbs and shrubs,
and there are also various vine
and tree forms. What’s very
important to remember from a
practical standpoint, of course,
is that when botanists speak of
the tomato family, it doesn’t
mean that everything in the fam
ily is a tomato (specifically,
“tomato” is the species
Lycopersicon esculentum.
That’s just one of the nearly
4,000 species).
Such a big family, and an
important one too: various
members are highly important
for humans as important food
sources. Tomato,
obviously...but consider the eco
nomic and historic impact of the
Irish potato (which originated in
South America, not Ireland),
also a member of the family.
Eggplant, chilis, tomatillos and
edible peppers of various sorts
are widely known too. Because
the plant parts in many members
of the tomato family are rich in
alkaloids and a variety of other
substances, there are a lot of poi
sonous members. The deadly
nightshades come to mind,
along with the prickly Jimson
weed. Although many of these
species are quite poisonous, they
sometimes have offered a vari
ety of useful medicines. The
tomato family - which includes
tobacco - also features some
really pretty flowers: petunias,
anyone?

“Bittersweet,” Solarium dulca
mara, is a native of Asia and
Europe, now widely appearing
in much of the northern USA.
It’s a viny herb with dark green,
lobed leaves and, during the
summer, will produce clusters of
attractive violet flowers, these
looking like purple versions of
your tomato plant’s blossoms.
Toward the fall, the fruits of the
Bittersweet begin to ripen, pro
gressing from green to yellow
and then orange to a beautiful
red. This transformation doesn’t
happen all at once, so that the
plants often feature a variety of
fruit colors at the same time.
Although this plant is pretty,
Bittersweet is something of a
weed. And it has a reputation as
being rather poisonous. The
fruits have been used medicinal
ly, to a limited extent, and they
are said to have a sort of sweet
and bitter flavor. Latin for these
two words, “dulcis” and
“amarus,” gives us the species
name. As always though, it is
usually a bad idea to be spot
tasting unusual or unknown
plant parts, and it is not recom-

mended here!
By the way, our plant is also
somewhat related to a different
species, one in Europe called
“Bella-donna,” a plant that is
VERY poisonous. One of its
poisonous compounds is
atropine, known medicinally as
an effective dilator of one’s
pupils. Traditionally, high-soci
ety ladies in Renaissance Italy
would apply drops of the plants’
juice into their eyes, making
their pupils open up, thus
becoming more beautiful.
“Bella-donna,” of course, means
“beautiful lady”....but DON’T
try this at home!)
