The article mentions a peculiar fruit
> desert raisin (Solanum cleistogamum), an edible fruit native to central Australia
A thread on TropicalFruitForum called it "passionberry" and paraphrases "it's the best of the bush tomatoes, and one of the best fruity solanums in general, highly aromatic, with a smokey caramel/vanilla/banana-like flavor"

Solanums hybridize pretty readily. I wonder if anyone's yet tried to hybridize one of these with tomatoes to get a better desert-adapted cultivar
