The name is often given to the fruit of Solanum Sodom‘um, a prickly shrub with fruit not unlike a small yellow tomato.

Excellent blackberries and a very large and full-flavored black raspberry grow at Newera Ellia; likewise the Cape gooseberry, which is of the genus "solanum." The latter is a round yellow berry, the size of a cherry; this is enclosed in a loose bladder, which forms an outer covering.

The best evidence, however, that the twisting does not cause the revolving movement is afforded by many leaf-climbing and tendril-bearing plants (as _Pisum sativum_, _Echinocystis lobata_, _Bignonia capreolata_, _Eccremocarpus scaber_, and with the leaf-climbers, _Solanum jasminoides_ and various species of _Clematis_), of which the internodes are not twisted, but which, as we shall hereafter see, regularly perform revolving movements like those of true twining-plants.

This fact has been well shown by Dutrochet, {19} who found different individuals of _Solanum dulcamara_ twining in opposite directions, and these had their leaves in each case spirally arranged in the same direction.

The _Solanum dulcamara_, as we shall presently see, can twine only round stems which are both thin and flexible.
