General Description This description has been adapted from a biology document published by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA, 1996). The potato (Solanum tuberosum) belongs to the Solanaceae family. This family includes, among 2000 other species, the tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum), eggplant (Solanum Melongena var.
