Acropetal order is the arrangement of new flowers at the apex and older flowers at the base. In contrast, basipetal order is the flower arrangement in which older flowers are present at the apex while new flowers are present at the base. So, this is the key difference between acropetal and basipetal order.

A flower having a stalk is called pedunculate or pedicellate; one having no stalk is sessile.

The Basipetal order is seen in the cymose inflorescence. The cymose inflorescence is found in the hibiscus flower.

The Solanaceae family is also known as the Nightshade family, but has also been known as the potato family. There are about 85 genera and 2,800 species, found in tropical and warm temperate regions, especially in Central and South America(1).

Nightshade is a family of plants that includes tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, and peppers. Tobacco is also in the nightshade family. Nightshades are unique because they contain small amounts of alkaloids. Alkaloids are chemicals that are mainly found in plants.

Nightshade foods contain solanine, a chemical which some people believe may aggravate arthritis pain or inflammation. The Arthritis Foundation say that this is not true. However, if a person feels that certain foods trigger their arthritis symptoms, including nightshades, they should avoid these foods.

And everyone’s favorite cruciferous veggie, broccoli, is also not on the nightshade vegetable list. Colorful fruits and vegetables like blueberries and broccoli are often mistaken for nightshades. But these fruits and veggies are actually full of antioxidants.

Why would you peel tomatoes? The tomato skin is a different texture from the tomato flesh, and will remain so in sauces and purées—you’ll get tiny chunks of skin instead of an uniformly smooth mixture. Moreover, the tomato skin is heavy in a kind of nutrient called flavonols, which impart a bitter flavor.
