- Comments
- It has been established that Solanum sarrachoides and S. physalifolium Rusby are two distinct species, both known from North America. Mistaken interpretations of Gleason and Cronquist's 1991 treatment of Solanum have given rise to the incorrect belief that only S. physalifolium is found in North America. True S. physalifolium is present in the w. United States, S. sarrachoides in the Southeast.
