Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Lycopersicum (wolf peach; probably an allusion to its inferiority as compared with the peach or possibly to its supposed poisonous qualities). Sometimes written Lycopersicon. Solanaceae. Tomato. Familiar garden fruit or vegetable.

Perhaps nearly a dozen herbs of the western side of S. Amer., two of which are in common cult, for their frs. (which in common speech are classed with vegetables). Fls. small, yellow, nearly rotate when in full bloom, in short superaxillary racemes; stamens 5, connate about the single style; ovary 2-loculed in the non ameliorated forms, becoming a fleshy many-seeded berry: foliage irregularly or interruptedly pinnate, rank- smelling: plant pubescent, straggling.—Botanically the genus is very close to Solanum, from which it is distinguished by the characteristic pinnately compound lvs., and the longitudinally dehiscing anthers which are prolonged into an empty beak. It is united with Solanum by Wettstein in Engler & Prantl's "Naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien." In native conditions, tomatoes are probably perennial, but in domestication they are treated as if annual. Tender to frost. See Tomato.
