I've found a plant that is very small and has flowers that are basically
miniature potatoe flowers, white on outside and orange/yellow in middle
It porduces berries that look like miniature tomatoes (about the size of
rowan berries) but turn dark purple/black
The leaveas are not unlike potatoes/tomatoes but the plant grows not more
than about 6inches hight
Anyone know what it is and is it poisonous?
Could be black nightshade - a relative of potato and tomato (and also of
belladonna, deadly nightshade, thornapple, sweet pepper and aubergine)
Mots of the plant is poisonous, the berries may not be, but I wouldn't
experiment with any member of that family.
