scientific name

Solanum ferox L.
status

 

Solanum ferox Linnaeus View in CoL , Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1: 267. 1762.

"Habitat in Malabaria." RCN: 1477.

Type not designated.

Original material: none traced.

Current name: Solanum ferox L. View in CoL ( Solanaceae ).

Note: Symon (in J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 4: 106. 1981) indicates type material in LINN (which had been seen on a microfiche in AD). However, there seems to be no material at LINN annotated in a way that can associate it with this name and it is therefore not clear what material Symon intended. However, Whalen & al. (in Gentes Herb. 12: 100. 1981) say that Linnaeus’ calyx description rules out the traditional application of S. ferox , and take up S. lasiocarpon Dunal for that taxon. They say that S. involucratum Blume is a much more likely identity for Linnaeus’ plant. There appear to be no original elements, and a neotype may be needed, although there may also be a case for proposing the rejection of the name altogether.
