Tomato
The tomato is the edible, often red, berry of the plant "Solanum lycopersicum", commonly known as a tomato plant. The species originated in western South America and Central America. The Nahuatl (Aztec language) word "tomatl" gave rise to the Spanish word "tomate", from which the English word "tomato" derived. Its domestication and use as a cultivated food may have originated with the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The Aztecs used tomatoes in their cooking at the time of the Spanish conquest
Solanum diphyllum
Solanum diphyllum, commonly known as the twoleaf nightshade, is a species of nightshade native to the Americas. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant for its clusters of dark green round fruits that turn a bright yellow when ripe.
Taxonomy.
Twoleaf nightshades are classified under the subgenus "Minon". It belongs to tribe Solaneae, subfamily Solanoideae, under the very large and diverse nightshade family (Solanaceae). They were first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 book "Species Plantarum".
