Solanum atriplicifolium var. minus Nees |
Solanum sarrachoides is a species of nightshade known as the Hairy Nightshade[2]. In California, according to the Jepson Manual Solanum key, it is differenciated by its calyx (sepals) that are enlarged during fruit, but smaller when in flower.
The scientific name S. sarrachoides was long used for Solanum physalifolium by various authors. Specifically, the original misidentified S. sarrachoides were held to be a variety S. physalifolium var. nitidibaccatum, often held to be a distinct species, but this is not considered appropriate anymore by many. The actual S. sarrachoides was also considered a variety of S. tweedianum, under this plant's obsolete name S. atriplicifolium as established by Gilli based on Nees.[3]
