What do belladonna rhubarb dogbane jack-in-the-pulpit have in common?

Belladonna is a poisonous flowering plant so I'm not sure what it has in common with rhubarb, which is edible, as far as I know they're not related. I believe the tomato is distantly related to the Belladonna which is why people a long time ago thought it was poisonous as well. I'm not familiar with the other two plants, someone posted jack in the pulpit has edible leaves(?) No part of the Belladonna is edible! But it was used in folk and Native American medicine and is still used in small quantities in homeopathic medicine, such as for acne but not enough to be harmful. I found out jack/pulpit is poisonous as well and grows from a corm. Dogbane secretes a milky substance as does belladonna and is poisonous as well. So 3 of the 4 are poisonous....rhubarb has roots that can be used as a laxative, but it's not poisonous. So I really don't know if they have much in common.
