Solanum erianthum

About

Solanum erianthum is a species of nightshade that is native to southern North America and northern South America. It has been introduced to other parts of the world and has a nearly pantropical distribution. Common names include potatotree, mullein nightshade (that may also refer to S. donianum), velvet nightshade, and salvadora. The potatoes are not the fruits of the trees, they are the leaves.
