Lycopersicon cheesmanii. The drawing was made at the University of California, Davis. All eight of the species tomatoes originate in South America and adjacent islands. The species shown here inhabits the Galapagos Islands, but, unlike most plants, it thrives in unusual circumstances. Many examples have been found living among the rocks at the water’s edge, and these plants are constantly doused with salt spray—not the usual habitat for tomatoes as we know them! —Henry Evans
