Solanum gonaivense Leonard , J. Wash. Acad. Sci. 17: 71. 1927

Type: Haiti. Dept. Artibonite, 8 mi NE of Gonaives, Ennery Road , 19 Feb 1926, E. Leonard 10007 (holotype, US [ US-1301034 , barcode US00588712] ; isotype, GH [GH0077550]).

Distribution. In dry forests and xerophytic scrublands on Hispaniola and the Bahamas, usually on limestone soils at around sea level, but up to 200 m elevation.

Representative specimen. Bahamas, Little Exuma, Correll & Wasshausen 51203 (MO, NY, US).

The type specimen of Solanum squarrosum was cited as Schomburgk 51 and was at B, but is no longer extant. A rather scrappy duplicate of Schomburgk 51 at Leiden (L0403808, Fig. 3d ) is labelled “typus” in Schulz’s hand and is here selected as the lectotype.
