A friend found this on the net, but the person selling it had / has no clue what the name of the plant is.

Here is the descritpion that was posted with the picture.. "I found this plant growing by an old homesite dating back to the Civil War. I have no idea what it is called. It appears to be a perennial. It is shrub looking. It has small white blooms. The fruit turns red. I tasted one, and it has a watermelon taste. This is the only where that I have seen these plants growing. They seem to be doing best in shade. If anyone has an idea of what these might be please let me know. The seeds look like pepper or tomato seeds."

The photo of this plant can be seen on my website ..
