Solanum dendroicum O.E. Schulz & Ekman , Repert. Spec. Nov. Regni Veg. 32: 91. 1933

Type: Dominican Republic. Prov. Samaná, Peninsula de Samaná , near Samaná , Laguna , ca. 350 m, 21 May 1930, E.L. Ekman H.15102 (lectotype, S [ S04- 2902 ] , designated here; isolectotypes, A [A0077457], K [K000196485], NY [NY00111365]).

Distribution. Endemic to the Samaná Peninsula of the Dominican Republic in northeastern Hispaniola, in matorrales and forests on limestone derived from ancient corals from sea level to 350 m elevation.

Representative specimen. Dominican Republic, Prov. Samaná, Peguero & Veloz 549 (JBSD, MO).

Of the four syntypes cited by Schulz (Ekman H.14847, Ekman H.15042, Ekman H.15102 and Abbott 2922), only one (Ekman H15102) is fertile. The sheet in S ( Fig. 2d ) has been chosen as the lectotype because Eric Ekman’s top set of specimens is housed in Stockholm, all have been annotated by Ekman, and S04-2902 is in excellent condition.
