  • Chapter
Medicinal Plants of the World

Abstract

A spreading, pubescent herb of the SOLANACEAE family with a strong characteristic odor and grayish green, curled and unevenly pinnate leaves. The fruits are villose when young, and glabrous and shining when mature. Seeds are flat, kidney-shaped and hairy. The shape and size of the fruits and the thickness of the pericarp vary in the numerous types under cultivation.
