In biological classification , a subfamily ( Latin : subfamilia , plural subfamiliae ) is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank , next below family but more inclusive than genus . Standard nomenclature rules end botanical subfamily names with "-oideae", and zoological subfamily names with "-inae".
3-754: Solanoideae is a subfamily of the flowering plant family Solanaceae , and is sister to the subfamily Nicotianoideae . Within Solanaceae, Solanoideae contains some of the most economically important genera and species, such as the tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ), potato ( Solanum tuberosum ), eggplant or aubergine ( Solanum melongena ), chili and bell peppers ( Capsicum spp.), mandrakes ( Mandragora spp.), and jimson weed ( Datura stramonium ).

The subfamily also contains
6-403: The contended tribes Mandragoreae and Jaboroseae . The relationship between the tribes has recently been well described. Nicandreae is the most basal tribe of the family, placing sister to the other 9 (or by some counts 11) tribes. Datureae lies sister to Nicandreae, Physaleae , Capsiceae , and Solaneae. Solaneae + (Physaleae + Capsiceae) form a well-supported monophyletic group, but
