Noun
1. Solanaceae (nightshade family of plants)
Wikipedia definition
2. SolanaceaeSolanaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes a number of important agricultural crops. Many species are toxic plants. The name of the family comes from the Latin Solanum "the nightshade plant", but the further etymology of that word is unclear. Most likely, the name comes from the perceived resemblance that some of the flowers bear to the sun and its rays, and in fact a species of Solanum is known as the "sunberry".
