I think you will find that the Jerusalem
and False Jerusalem cherries are the deadly nightshades.

Chinese Lantern  another name for habanero..

In veggies include potato and eggplant.

Nicotina, geranium, horsnettle  and Datura can also host many of the chile
pepper plant diseases. (plus about 2,500 other flowers)

Hi C-H's,

I noticed, and Brent Thompson also pointed this out, that I used the
terms "Nightshade" and "Solanaceae" in a confusing way. In fact they
are both the same family. The reasons I did this were that I believe
that the ground cherry (Chinese lantern) is poisonous, whereas the
Cape gooseberry (title) is not. So I used the two terms in
association with their properties and may have confused you.
Interestingly, tobacco is also in the Solanaceae family, which
explains the susceptibility of chile peppers to tobacco mosaic virus
(TMV).
