Solanum Nigrum (Black Nightshade) 犬酸漿（イヌホオズキ）

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

This is Solanum nigrum or more commonly black nightshade. Small white flowers with a bright yellow center are pretty and look innocent, but the plant, especially the unripe berries, is poisonous.

The black nightshade is "baka nasu" in Japanese, meaning "stupid eggplant" because it looks like Solanum melongena (i.e., eggplant) but is worthless, i.e., inedible.

犬酸漿（イヌホオズキ）です。こんなに可愛いのに別名「馬鹿茄子」。犬の殖栗（イヌノフグリ）も含めて、植物の世界って結構シビアです。
