The Nightshade family, containing 95 genera and 2500 species of plants. Many of these plants are well-known, some of which are weeds, some of which are cultivated for food, and still others for flowers and as ornamentals.

Nightshade plants are generally poisonous; although many of these plants provide vegetables edible by humans, they contain a toxic alkaloid that will kill domestic animals. Don't feed your dog eggplant.
