The night shade family. Tomatoes and their relatives are native to central and south america.
I've done some env. consulting in W. China, former soviet republics, looking at apple cultivars and other crops as part of a project to encourage the continuued cultivation of ancient crops by hill tribe people. Literally in this region, each valley has unique cultivars of apple, apricot, mulberry and so on. We try to encourage "agridiversity sustainability" in developing nations.
Pretty sure I've read either your or one of your coleagues reports  @Koraks ya, we agree.... Lol you ?

My Father is the tomato master, and he also has a compost pile where he'll throw anything, including rotten tomato fruits. Some years tomato plants will grow on their own.
They seem to remain rather small, and close to the ground (they are a vine after all) and produce a small number of petite sized fruits.

I never actually had the gall to eat them, as they were basically growing out of waste (lol) and had alot of flies around, but I did pick one and the skin was extraordinarily tough.

"Originating in South America, the tomato was spread around the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas, and its many varieties are now widely grown, often in greenhouses in cooler climates.'
