It contains over 150 species, mostly from tropical America, with 35-40 species in Asia and the Pacific. Taxonomy The genus ''Lycianthes'' is closely related to the genus ''Capsicum'', the chili and bell peppers. However, it was long confused with the nightshades (genus ''Solanum''), and several little-known ''Solanum'' species have now been reclassified to the genus ''Lycianthes''. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Lycianthes'': *'' Lycianthes acapulcensis'' *'' Lycianthes aceratia'' *'' Lycianthes acidochondra'' *'' Lycianthes actinocalyx'' *'' Lycianthes acutifolia'' *'' Lycianthes amatitlanensis'' *''Lycianthes amazonica'' *'' Lycianthes amphidoxys'' *'' Lycianthes anomala'' *'' Lycianthes apiculata'' *''Lycianthes armentalis'' *''Lycianthes arrazolensis'' *''Lycianthes bambusarum'' ...

''Lycianthes rantonnetii'', the blue potato bush or Paraguay nightshade, is a species of flowering plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae, native to South America. Growing to about tall and broad, it is a rounded evergreen shrub with a somewhat lax habit. A profusion of trumpet-shaped, bright blue-purple flowers with a prominent yellow eye appear in summer, followed by red berries. It is widely cultivated and may be hardy in mild or coastal areas. Alternatively it can be grown in a container and brought under cover in winter. It requires a sheltered location in full sun. Though related to food plants like the potato and tomato, all parts of the plant are considered toxic to humans. It has been given the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. The species is named for Barthélémy Victor Rantonnet, a 19th-century French horticulturalist.
