aubergine
Eggplant branches vertically from herbs to subshrubs, with a height of 1 m. Branchlets, petioles and pedicels are all branched by 6-8-(65,438+00) with flat or short-stalked stellate villi. Branchlets are mostly purple (wild ones often have thorns), and when they get older, their hair will gradually fall off. The leaves are large, ovate to oblong-ovate, and the petiole is about 2-4.5 cm long (wild with thorns). Fertile flowers are solitary, with stalks about 1- 1.8 cm long and dense indumentum. The shape and size of fruits vary greatly. Fruit is long or round, and its colors are white, red and purple. Fruit can be eaten by vegetables. Roots, stems and leaves are used as medicine, which are astringents and have diuretic effect, and leaves can also be used as anesthetics. Seeds are used as detumescence drugs and irritants, but they are easy to cause stomach weakness and constipation.
