Chilean Nightshade (Solanum nigrescens) - 25 seeds

Greenspot Nightshade (Solanum nigrescens) - rare Chilean medic herb 25 seeds

Synonim name: Solanum douglasii

It’s a wide perennial shrubby herb (sub-shrub) native to South and Central America and southwestern USA (and has been naturalized in Australia). A close cousin of Black Nightshade - Solanum nigrum. It can has black or green fruits in 1-few flowered inflorescences. We grew an accession from Chile with very small green fruits (with something translucent skin) which fall down (with pedicel attached) when ripe. The seeds are lovely cinnamon-brown colored and there are also present numerous stone-cell granules in fruits. The fruits are acidic in taste, but it is unknown if they are edible. They were used in medicine by Indians.
