[Solanaceae Source [2008] ]"Solanum sarrachoides" is a species of
nightshade known as the Hairy Nightshade [USDA (2007b)] . In California, according to the Jepson Manual Solanum key, it is differenciated by its calyx (sepals) that are enlarged during fruit, but smaller when in flower.The
scientific name "S. sarrachoides" was long used for "Solanum physalifolium" by various authors. Specifically, the original misidentified "S. sarrachoides" were held to be a variety "S. physalifolium" var. "nitidibaccatum", often held to be a distinct species, but this is not considered appropriate anymore by many. The actual "S. sarrachoides" was also considered a variety of "S. tweedianum", under this plant's obsolete name "S. atriplicifolium" as established by Gilli based on Nees.
