Description. &c. — The flowers of all the species bear a great resemblance to those of the potato, which we 
should probably think very ornamental if they were not so common, and the berries are generally very showy. 
There are many annual species ; but some of them, such as the Egg-plant, require the protection of a stove, and 
others are not yet introduced, or have been lost to our gardens ; we shall therefore describe very few.
