Solanum tortipes Urb. & Ekman View in CoL , Ark. Bot. 21(5): 59. 1927
Type: Haiti. Massif des Cahos, Petit Rivière de l’Artibonite , Pérodin , Jardins Nan-Plaine , 1400 m, 8 Mar 1925, E.L. Ekman H.3475 (holotype, S [ S-04-2991 ] ; isotype, US [US-1410723, barcode US00028728]).
Distribution. Known only from the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), growing in a wide variety of forest types from dry thorn forest to cloud forest, from 300-1900 m.
Representative specimen. Dominican Republic, Prov. San Juan, Howard & Howard 8805 (BM).
I have located no duplicates of the five specimens were cited by Urban in describing Solanum polyacanthos var. oreophilum – Nectoux s.n., Picarda 245, Buch 915 and Buch 949, all from Haiti. A photograph of a duplicate of Buch 949 at IJ is held at MO and is clearly S. polyacanthos . I have not lectotypified this name here in the hopes of eventually finding and personally examining duplicates of the syntype material.
