Solanum lanceolatum (Orangeberry Nightshade) is a species of nightshade. It is a shrub that s sometimes grown as an ornamental plant. Its flowers are light purple. It is endemic to California. All parts of the plants are toxic if eaten.
This plant was variously considered a variety of other Solanum species. It was included in S. glutinosum as var. irazuense by Kuntze (note that there was also a S. irazuense, which is the same as S. pubigerum. It was included in S. corymbosum of von Jacquin (a valid species), and in S. hernandesii (which is S. ferrugineum nowadays) as var. corymbosum by Dunal – not to be confused with the S. corymbosum of Wight based on Nees (which is the same as the nomen nudum S. vagum of B. Heyne, based on N. Wallich). Like many nightshade species, it was also included in S. torvum, in its case by Otto Sendtner as var. schiedeanum.[1]
Meanwhile, the taxon S. lanceolatum had also been used for other Solanum species in error. As used by Ruiz & Pavón Jiménez, it refers to S. ruizii. The S. lanceolatum of Berthault is S. cardiophyllum as described by John Lindley.[1]
There are also a number of now-invalid names where the Orangeberry Nightshade was considered a distinct species. Many of these are also homonyms of other Solanum taxa:[1]
- Solanum amictum Dunal
- S. amictum var. fructipendulum is S. rudepannum.
- Solanum bifidum Sessé & Moc. (non Dunal in DC.: preoccupied)
- The S. bifidum described by Dunal in de Candolle is S. lepidotum. That described by de Conceição Vellozo from Dunal in DC. is S. subumbellatum.
- Solanum canescens Pav. ex Dunal (non Blume: preoccupied)
- S. canescens as described by Blume is an undetermined species. The S. canescens of L.C. Richard based on Dunal in de Candolle is the S. asperum of L.C. Richard. That described by Kitaibel is S. villosum of Philip Miller.
- Solanum cinerascens Pav. ex Dunal
- Solanum cymosum Ortega
