The
Blue Potato Bush is one of about 200 species in the
genusLycianthes, which are found mostly in
tropical regions of the
Americas, and others located in the
Asia-Pacific region. Lycianthes is apparently closely related to the chili peppers (Capsicum). However, it was long confused with the nightshades (Solanum), and several little-known Solanum species presumably should be included with Lycianthes.Photo:
