Closeup of flower

Solanum citrullifolium is a species of nightshade commonly known as the Watermelon Nightshade, as its leaves somewhat resemble those of a watermelon plant (the Melon-leaved Nightshade is a different species, S. heterodoxum Dunal, whose leaves resemble those of a normal melon plant).
