  1. Asterids III – the end of the eudicots Solanaceae Apiaceae

  2. Phylogeny

  3. Solanaceae – Nightshade Family • Flowers in 5’s (except carpel) • United sepals and petals • Connivent anthers • Alternate leaves • Spiral leaves • Fruit a berry, drupe, or capsule • Plicate corolla • Cymes or solitary infloresence • Mostly herbs in Colorado

  4. Floral Formula - Solanaceae

  5. Solanaceae - Distribution

  10. Economic Importance • Edible plants, such as Capsicum (peppers), Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato), Physalis philadelphica (tomatillo), Solanum tuberosum (potato), Solanum melongena (eggplant) • Medicinal properties (e.g., atropine from Atropa belladona), hallucinogenic properties (e.g., Datura, Jimson weed), all alkaloids • Deadly poisons (e.g., Datura, Solanum spp.) • Carcinogens (e.g., Nicotiana tabacum); some used as ornamental cultivars, others are noxious weeds

  11. Capsicum annuum

  12. Capsaicin • Methyl vanillyl nonenamide • Used topically as a pain reliever • Some indications as an injected drug for osteoarthritis relief • Very bad to get in the eyes • Birds are not effected • Black pepper is a whole different family • http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93636630
