Prezentare
Solanum lyratum, cunoscut sub numele de frunză în formă de lyra, este o plantă perenială nativă din regiuni precum Cambodja, China (nord-central, sud-central și sud-est), Hainan, Japonia, Coreea, Taiwan și Vietnam. Această plantă se dezvoltă în zonă plină de soare și preferă sustrat umed care poate fi lichid (sândal), mediu sau greu (argila). Înălțimea sa poate atinge până la 2 metri, având o valoare ornamentală notabilă din cauza frunzilor sale distincte în formă de lyra. Deși mai ales cultivată pentru folii sale comestibile, care fac parte din rangersul său nativ, Solanum lyratum nu are documentație extinsă privind utilizările medicinale.
