Nolana
''Nolana'' (Chilean bell flower) is a genus of hard annual or perennial plants in the nightshade family. The genus is mostly native to Chile and Peru. Species in this genus, especially '' N. paradoxa'', serve as a model system for studies on flower color. Classification There are a number of synonyms for ''Nolana'': ''Alibrexia'', ''Aplocarya'', ''Bargemontia'', ''Dolia'', ''Gubleria'', ''Leloutrea'', ''Neudorfia'', ''Osteocarpus'', ''Pachysolen'', ''Periloba'', ''Rayera'', ''Sorema'', ''Teganium'', ''Tula'', ''Velpeaulia'', ''Walberia'', and ''Zwingera''. ''Nolana'' is the only genus in the Solanaceae which has a fruit composed of mericarps, although its flower and other vegetative morphology is similar to other plants in this family. It seems to be most closely related to ''Lycium'' and '' Grabowskia''. There are about 85 to 89 species.Dillon, M. O. and J.

Solanaceae
The Solanaceae , or nightshades, are a family of flowering plants that ranges from annual and perennial herbs to vines, lianas, epiphytes, shrubs, and trees, and includes a number of agricultural crops, medicinal plants, spices, weeds, and ornamentals. Many members of the family contain potent alkaloids, and some are highly toxic, but many—including tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, bell and chili peppers—are used as food. The family belongs to the order Solanales, in the asterid group and class Magnoliopsida ( dicotyledons). The Solanaceae consists of about 98 genera and some 2,700 species, with a great diversity of habitats, morphology and ecology. The name Solanaceae derives from the genus '' Solanum''. The etymology of the Latin word is unclear. The name may come from a perceived resemblance of certain solanaceous flowers to the sun and its rays. At least one species of ''Solanum'' is known as the "sunberry". Alternatively, the name could originate from the Latin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
