Herbs shrubs or even trees with alternate or rarely opposite 
leaves without stipules, watery juice and perfect regular or 
nearly regular 4—5-merous flowers in variously modified cymes; 
the pedicels either not accompanied by bracts, or not in their 
axils. Calyx inferior, gamosepalous. Corolla rotate, campan- 
late, funnelform, salverform or tubular, mostly 5-lobed, the 
lobes induplicate-valvate or plicate in the bud. Stamens as 
many as lobes of the corolla and alternate with them, inserted 
on the tube of the corolla: anthers 2-celled, dehiscent at the apex 
or longitudinally. Ovary entire, normally 2-celled, with the 
placentez in the axis, many-ovuled, surmounted by an undivided 
style: stigmas entire or sometimes bilamellar. Ovules anatro- 
pous. Fruit a berry or capsule. Seeds numerous, the testa 
sometimes roughened. Embryo terete, spirally curved or nearly 
straight, in fleshy albumen, the cotyledons rarely much broad- 
er than the radicle. 
TRIBE 1 Corolla mostly short, with the limb plicate or valvate 
inthe bud. Stamens all perfect. Fruit berry-like, at least not 
dehiscent, sometimes nearly dry. 
1 Solanum Calyx little or not at all enlarged in fruit: anthers longer 
than their filaments, connivent into a cone, or slightly connate; the 
cells opening at the apex, or sometimes longitudinally. 
2 Physalis Calyx usually much enlarged in fruit: anthers unconnected 
and not connivent. 
TRIBE 11 Corolla mostly long with the limb either plicate or 
imbricate in the bud. Stamens all perfect. Fruit a capsule.
