It is a fascinating family, food crops, ornamentals, toxins, medicines

A solanum mission could be wonderful, imagine how many species of Solanum we use...

Thank you RomanEckstein, I´ll change it. :)

I love these solanum spottings. Does anyone know if there is a Solonaceae mission?

The color of the fruit varies within black to greenish-yellow so green is possible especially for an early stage of fruit-development.

I'm quite sure that this is 'Solanum nigrum'.
