  1. genus nicandra

    The genus Nicandra, described by the French naturalist Philibert Commerson, is a group of flowering plants in the nightshade family, Solanaceae. They are dicotyledonous plants classified under the order Solanales. There is only one recognized species in this genus, Nicandra physalodes, commonly known as Apple-of-Peru or shoo-fly plant. They are native to Peru but have spread worldwide. The plants are best known for their bell-shaped flowers and round, fruit-containing calyx that resemble small apples or lanterns. These species have both medicinal uses and toxicity due to the alkaloids present in them.
