List of Solanum species
Detail of the flowers of Solanum dulcamara , one of the 1240 accepted taxa that make up the genus Solanum (Solanaceae ), along with economically important species such as the potato (S. tuberosum ), the tomato (S. lycopersicum ) and the aubergine (S. melongena ).
This is a list of species in the plant genus Solanum . There may be as many as 1,500 species worldwide.[ 1] With some 1240 accepted specific and infra-specific taxa of the more than 4,000 described, the genus Solanum contains more species than any other genus in the family Solanaceae and it is one of the largest among the angiosperms.
Phylogenetic analysis of molecular data has established or confirmed that the genera Lycopersicon , Cyphomandra , Normania , and Triguera , which were previously classified independently, should in reality be included within the Solanum . In fact, all the species from these four genera have been formally transferred to Solanum . On the other hand, the genus Lycianthes , which is sometimes included within the Solanum , has been shown to be a separate genus.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5]
The following alphabetical list of Solanum species provides the binomial name followed by the name of the species authority, abbreviated according to the appropriate conventions and uses.
The tuberous species within the genus (those related to Solanum tuberosum , the potato, and therefore often called wild potatoes ) have been indicated with the letter T . The nothospecies belonging to the genus appear at the end of the list, that is those taxa that have originated from a hybrid between two different species (for example, Solanum × viirsooi , which has been shown to be an interspecific hybrid resulting from the cross between S. acaule and S. infundibuliforme .)[ 6]
