http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanaceae
The name Solanaceae derives from the genus Solanum, "the nightshade plant". The etymology of the Latin word is unclear. The name may come from a perceived resemblance of certain solanaceous flowers to the sun and its rays. At least one species of Solanum is known as the "sunberry". Alternatively, the name could originate from the Latin verb solari, meaning "to soothe", presumably referring to the soothing pharmacological properties of some of the psychoactive species of the family.

The etymology of Solanaceae is unclear— there is conjecture that Sol- refers to their preference for sunshine and heat. Most genera originated in warm climates, where they grow as perennials. In cold climates, unless protected, they must be treated as annuals. Although they love growing in the sun, the flowers of these ornamentals only release their alluring scent at night. This trait allows them to attract nocturnal pollinators and, perhaps, contributed to the naming of "nightshade".

pēdējais teksts ir skaists, bet mani neiedvesmo, jo mūsu pierastākie nakteņi kartupeļi ir pašapputes augi, un apputeksnētāji met viņiem līkumu gan dienā, gan naktī. bebrukārkliņus apputeksnē kamenes, un arī tās, man liekas, dzīvojas pa dienu.
