Thank you once again Gurcharan Sir, but i have a question - According to the KEY to *Solanum* genus is "Leaves *simple*, lobed or pinnatifid" ["Plant Groups" by H. Mukherji; publisher: NEW CENTRAL BOOK AGENCY (P) Ltd.; 1981 edition, reprinted 2005; page no. 1025].
Does that imply that taxonomists initially thought of tomato plants having simple leaves? Or this very college text book contains wrong data?
