Solanum torvum
Solanum torvum"known as Devil's Fig (among several other names) originates from Central and South America, where it is found from Mexico to Brazil and Peru, and is widespread in the Caribbean and the southeastern US. In West and Central Africa it is locally a kitchen garden crop, and it probably occurs in other regions of Africa as well. It is cultivated as a small-scale vegetable in southern and eastern Asia, and is especially popular in Thailand. It is now a pantropical weed and in Australia and New Guinea it grows on the edges of rainforest and in adjoining open forest.
Growing along a survey transect in coastal mixed lowland equatorial rainforest (freshwater swamp forest/sago swamp).
