[Illustration]
This is an herbaceous plant with a creeping and somewhat ligneous,
cylindrical stem, the upper branches being covered with short and
crooked thorns. The leaves, of a dark green, are alternate, irregularly
pennate; the folioles are long, lanceolate, almost sessile on a thorny
spike; there are from 7 to 9, those at the top being the largest. The
flowers are supported by ramose pedicles, which do not grow out of axils;
calice campanulate, with five divisions; corolla of a greenish white,
monopetalous, with five equal, rotaceous, somewhat reflexed divisions
alternating with those of the calix. Five stamens with erect, converging
and bilocular anthers; their filaments are short, with the exception of
one, which is longer than the rest. Ovary oval, surmounted by a filiform
style. Berry spherical with two compartments, of a dark green, with white
spots. This solanum grows on the shores around Rio Janeiro, in damp and
shady places. We employ the flower.
