Solanum aviculare G.Forst.

Glab. soft-wooded branching shrub or small tree up to ± 3 m. tall; stems green or purplish. Lvs alt., dark green, membr. to subcoriac., (4)-15-30-(40) cm. long, lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, entire or irregularly pinnatifid (us. on same plant) with c. 1-3 lanceolate acute lobes; petioles decurrent. Fls axillary in 1-3 few- to many-fld cymes. Calyx-lobes short, broad, spreading. Corolla broadly campanulate to rotate, up to 3·5 cm. diam.; lobes c. = tube, lanceolate; lavender, paling towards margins, or white. Filaments = or > anthers. Anthers oblong, spreading, opening by apical slits. Berry broadly ovoid, 20-25 mm. long, drooping, yellowish. Seeds < 2 mm. long. Baylis (loc. cit. 639) gives: n = 23, average pollen-grain diam. 25-31 µ; stone-cell masses in ripe fr. inconspicuous, only exceeding the seeds in size when coalescent.

Solanum aviculare G.Forst.

Glabrous, unarmed, soft-wooded shrub to c. 3 m tall; stems angular, green or purplish. Lvs petiolate, 7-35 cm long, entire or pinnatisect (with 1-4 pairs of lobes extending to c. 10 mm from midrib) on the same plant. Lamina of entire lvs 2-7-(10) cm wide (lobes of pinnatisect lvs usually 0.5-3 cm wide, lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, sometimes elliptic-lanceolate); base decurrent on petiole; apex subacute to acuminate. Cymes 2-12-flowered; peduncles to 12 cm long and slender at anthesis; pedicels pendent at fruiting. Calyx 4-7 mm long, accrescent; lobes broadly triangular, small, mucronate. Corolla 2.5-3.5 cm diam., usually mauve, paler towards margins, occasionally white, almost glabrous; lobes very broadly ovate, acute, slightly < to slightly > tube. Anthers 3-4 mm long. Berry 1.5-2.5 cm long, broadly ovoid or ellipsoid, orange, pendent; stone cells generally not conspicuous, < seeds. Seed < 2 mm diam., ± obovoid and somewhat asymmetric.
