03E887BF567F743A92FFF99AFEDB7EA0.taxon	distribution	Habitat and Distribution — The majority of collections of S. adscendens are from Rio Grande do Sul State in Brazil (Fig. 5). A few collections exist from Misiones and Corrientes Provinces in Argentina, but these are found near the border between the two countries. Solanum adscendens is a weedy species of interior forests and river banks as well as fields and roadsides (commonly ruderal) in seasonal deciduous forests at elevations from 0 – 600 (900) m.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF567F743A92FFF99AFEDB7EA0.taxon	conservation	Conservation Status — While S. adscendens status is Least Concern because it does not meet IUCN Red List qualifications for a Threatened or even Near Threatened species, it is still of some concern due to the limited geographic distribution and rapid conversion of wildlands to grazing and farming in Rio Grande do Sul (IBGE 2010). It is advised that this species be monitored in the future.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF567F743A92FFF99AFEDB7EA0.taxon	discussion	Notes — Solanum adscendens is similar to S. olympicum and has been considered to be conspecific with it (Nee 1989). Mentz and de Oliveira (2004) also placed specimens of S. adscendens and S. olympicum together in S. adscendens. This placement was largely due to the absence of type material, as the presumed holotype was destroyed in Berlin and the photographs of it were not sufficient to distinguish the species. Mentz and de Oliveira’s (2004) photographs of a duplicate of the type at Paris enabled us to readily distinguish S. adscendens from the more common and widespread S. olympicum. The cordate leaf bases, straight (not geniculate) hairs, glandular hairs on the abaxial leaf surface, and sprawling growth form with many branches from a single base characterize S. adscendens and differentiate it from S. olympicum, as do molecular data. Solanum amarantoides var. hirtellum has not previously been considered a synonym of S. adscendens, but both Bitter and C. V. Morton annotated the holotype at P as “ affine S. adscendens ” and “ probably = S. adscendens, ” respectively. The original printed label indicates the specimen was collected in “ Province de Rio-Grande ” but unidentified handwriting above this label states “ de Minas Geraes. ” Solanum adscendens has its northern limit at the border of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina States, so it is unlikely that the Gaudichaud 1745 specimen was collected in Minas Gerais State.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF5670743E92E6FC2AFE757CB9.taxon	discussion	Notes — Solanum deflexum and S. lignescens are the only two species in the section that occur in Central America. The straight, multicelled, unbranched hairs of S. deflexum are unlike the hairs of S. hoffmanseggii, S. olympicum, and S. turneroides that bend up or down the stem, and, unlike S. lignescens, they are not stellate. Solanum lignescens is sympatric with S. deflexum, but the latter is a diminutive nonwoody plant, reaching 30 to rarely 40 cm in height. Solanum deflexum is frequently many-branched at the base, creating a “ flat ” appearance that is distinct from the upright appearance of other members of the clade. Solanum deflexum is also unique in that the first inflorescence often appears with the first pair of leaves after the cotyledons, giving the appearance of flowering while still a seedling (Nee 1989). Unlike other members of the clade, S. deflexum is rarely rhizomatous, although it does appear in patches, likely due to the explosive dehiscence of the fruits. In the description of S. deflexum, Greenman lists three collections, Nelson 2876 a, Pringle 6400, and Smith 403, but none was designated as the type. Smith 403 was chosen as the lectotype from among the syntypes because of the quality of the specimen, with both flowering and fruiting material. A collection bearing a label for Smith 403 exists at MEXU but this specimen also bears a label for Pringle 6400, a different syntype collection. The material is likely that of Smith 403 as it is both flowering and fruiting while all of the many Pringle 6400 collections at MEXU and other herbaria only have flower buds or fruit. Nelson 2876 a is comprised of plants that are unusually large and are not reflective of the species as a whole. The type of Salpichroa wrightii exemplifies the problems botanists have encountered with collections by Charles Wright made along the boundary with Mexico. In the protologue, Gray gives the collection locality as “ Arizona on the Sonoita ” and the type as Wright 1692. Consultation of Shaw’s (1987) book about Wright’s expeditions and W. T. Kittredge’s label on the lectotype sheet, presumably with information taken from Wright’s field notes, indicates that his field number for this collection is 549 and it was made on September 17, 1851. The specimens, all apparently belonging to the same gathering, have been distributed with the numbers 1592 and 1692. In fact, on the lectotype sheet at GH the handwritten “ 1592 ” appears to have been changed to “ 1692 ”. Because the distribution number 1692 does not exist for Wright’s Solanaceae collections according to Shaw (1987), it is apparent that all the collections should bear the distribution number 1592 and the protologue contains a typographical error.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

The species is known from only two localities where the landscape has been strongly modified in the last decades due to the expansion of urban centers and extensive farming. The region has been the focus of several surveys undertaken by the Centro de Pesquisas do Cacau in association with the New York Botanical Garden; despite this, just a few collections of this species have been made. Although one collection was made in a disturbed area (Jardim 1843), the most recent collection is from a well-preserved forest fragment, and the species was not found in surrounding areas. There are no collections from within conservation units.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF5674743E92E6FE02FACD784F.taxon	discussion	Notes — The species is closely related to S. turneroides and shares with it notable heteranthery, with the filament of one stamen much longer than the other four. Like S. turneroides, the flowers are only open in the morning and close by midday. Solanum evolvuloides can be easily distinguished from all other species in sect. Gonatotrichum by the glandular, multicellular hairs on the stems, inflorescences, and flowers that are not found in any other species of the section. Jardim 1843 from the banks of the Rio de Contas near the city of Itacaré might be an occasional case of water dispersal by the Contas River, which originates in a xeric environment near the center of Bahia in the caatinga biome.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF56747423912CFA0AFA957CBA.taxon	conservation	Conservation Status — According to IUCN guidelines, the status of S. hoffmanseggii is deemed of Least Concern due to a sufficiently large number of collections over a relatively large area of occupancy. Many areas of Amazonia are under-collected, leading to difficulty in understanding the species’ distribution (Milliken et al. 2011). Given this, it is highly likely that S. hoffmanseggii is more widespread and abundant than our data indicate.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF56747423912CFA0AFA957CBA.taxon	discussion	Notes — Solanum hoffmanseggii, although rarely collected, is morphologically and geographically distinct from the other species of sect. Gonatotrichum. This species is more robust than any of the other species except S. lignescens, which can be easily distinguished by its stellate hairs. Anomalously large plants of S. turneroides may reach nearly similar sizes; however, S. turneroides has much larger fruits and heterantherous flowers. The most similar species is S. olympicum, which occurs in southernmost Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina. The two species share distinct geniculate hairs as well as seeds with raised ridges radiating from the center to the margins. Unlike S. hoffmanseggii, S. olympicum has much broader, larger leaves and is a more diminutive plant. Solanum hoffmanseggii is the only member of sect. Gonatotrichum known from northern Brazil. The Souza et al. 223 collection is unusual because the leaves are more ovate than other specimens of S. hoffmanseggii but other characteristics and its geographic location are consistent with this species. The nearest members of the section geographically are S. evolvuloides and S. olympicum, which are found in the drier northeastern state of Bahia and in deciduous forest of northern Goiás respectively. Solanum hoffmanseggii has been problematic because it is known from relatively few collections and, until recently, the only known type was a mixed collection from M. This sheet contains a sterile leafy twig bearing branched hairs and a small handwritten label with the number “ 787 ” and a packet of the same material on the lower right hand side of the sheet; this may belong to a different species of Solanum. Another packet contains fragments including leaves, buds, and flowers of a different plant and is labeled “ echtes S. hoffmanseggii Sendtn. ” by Bitter. However, the material in this packet does not seem to match that of the type of S. hoffmanseggii at BR because the leaves are larger, ovate, and more densely pubescent. This is likely material from a collection of S. olympicum, a species found much further south in Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina, that Bitter thought was S. hoffmanseggii. The material on the M sheet is in our view different from that of the BR collection and should be treated with some skepticism. The specimen at BR was chosen as the lectotype because it is far superior in quality and is unequivocally original material. Because of the confusion with the type material of S. hoffmanseggii prior to the discovery of the excellent BR collection, Stern and Bohs (2009) erroneously referred to what is now known as S. olympicum as S. hoffmanseggii. It is now clear, however, that the widespread species of Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina and the southernmost parts of Brazil is S. olympicum, while this unique species of Pará, Brazil is S. hoffmanseggii.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF566974219142FE07FE487B9F.taxon	discussion	Notes — The leaf upper surfaces of S. lignescens usually have a mixture of simple and stellate trichomes, and a given individual may have a mixture of hair types or have only simple trichomes adaxially. Due to the presence of intermediate hair types between simple and stellate, it is likely that the simple trichomes represent cases where the rays have been lost. Stellate trichomes always have a uniseriate, often unicellular stalk. The presence of these hairs and the shrubby habit make S. lignescens easily recognizable from the simple-haired, herbaceous species that comprise the rest of sect. Gonatotrichum. The type of S. lignescens was not designated in the protologue. From the handwriting on the labels of the duplicates of Palmer 216, it appears that Fernald saw and used the specimens at GH, MO, NY, and US for the species description (the handwriting on the material at F appears to be that of someone else). The material of each of these collections is excellent; however, most collections just have buds while the US specimen has open flowers, making this our choice for the lectotype.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF566B742092FFF920FDE478A5.taxon	discussion	Notes — Solanum manabiense is unique in sect. Gonatotrichum due to the combination of its rhizomatous habit; bifoliate, occasionally geminate sympodia; leaves nearly glabrous on the abaxial surface; unbranched, straight (non-geniculate) hairs; small flowers with equal stamens; and seeds with unexpanded margins and no obvious notch at the attachment point to the placenta. It is apparently restricted to coastal Ecuador in the Guayas and Manabí provinces. Solanum manabiense resembles S. olympicum, but the hairs of S. olympicum are geniculate whereas those of S. manabiense are straight. Solanum manabiense also resembles S. turneroides, but the latter is a more robust herb with heterantherous flowers that are much larger than those of S. manabiense. Solanum manabiense is also similar to S. deflexum, but the latter has leaves pubescent on both surfaces, is not rhizomatous, and has seeds with a swollen margin and pronounced notch where they connect to the placenta.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF566A742592E6FA21FEC27FC5.taxon	discussion	Notes — Solanum olympicum is the one of the two members of sect. Gonatotrichum, along with S. hoffmanseggii, with characteristic geniculate hairs. These hairs always bend between the first and second cells and point upwards. This trait is absent in some specimens from the northern extent of the species’ range in Bahia and Goiás, Brazil (including Arbo et al. 5613, Alvarenga et al. 1295, Mello-Silva 2286, and Silva et al. 4860). These specimens are disjunct in their distribution and have a mixture of hairs that are held perpendicular to the stem (similar in orientation but shorter than those of S. deflexum; see Fig. 1) and hairs that are adpressed and lie flat along the stem. However, other morphological characteristics of these specimens correspond to the concept of S. olympicum, and molecular phylogenies place one of these Bahian specimens as sister to the other populations of S. olympicum. One specimen from Mato Grosso do Sul, Hatschbach et al. 76267, has a shrubby habit with a mixture of geniculate and glandular hairs. This might represent a new species or simply a shrubby example of S. olympicum; however, since this form is only represented by one specimen we have included the collection within S. olympicum. Solanum olympicum is similar to S. hoffmanseggii, but these species can be distinguished by the narrow, lanceolate leaves and shrubby habit of S. hoffmanseggii compared with the elliptic to elliptic-ovoid leaves and herbaceous habit of S. olympicum. The flowers of S. olympicum are weakly heterantherous with one filament slightly elongated (Fig. 12), which is typically only visible in living plants and differentiates it from the larger, strongly heterantherous flowers of S. turneroides and S. evolvuloides. Solanum olympicum also resembles S. adscendens, but the latter species has cordate leaves, a more branched, spreading growth form, and is restricted to Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil and neighboring parts of Argentina. The Bahian collections of S. olympicum lack glandular hairs on the stems and calyx, unlike the Bahian species S. evolvuloides, which has abundant glandular pubescence. The protologue describing S. olympicum placed it in sect. Morella Dumort. (now sect. Solanum) and until this revision the name S. olympicum has not been associated with sect. Gonatotrichum. All specimens of S. olympicum cited in this revision have been recently annotated as “ S. parcistrigosum, ” which was the accepted name until the earlier S. olympicum was discovered. The protologue describing S. olympicum clearly indicates that the specimen in the Hassler Herbarium in Geneva is the holotype. Bitter’s description of S. parcistrigosum cited only one specimen at the Stockholm herbarium, making this the holotype.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.

03E887BF566F742B92FFFC8AFC2C7BB3.taxon	discussion	Notes — Strongly heterantherous flowers are only found in two members of the section, S. turneroides and S. evolvuloides. Solanum turneroides can be distinguished from S. evolvuloides by its lack of glandular hairs, its larger flowers, and its more widespread South American distribution. As noted by Nee (1989), the flowers of S. turneroides are not open in the heat of the day, as is also the case for S. evolvuloides (L. Giacomin, pers. obs.). When grown in the greenhouse at UT the flowers were open and very fragrant during the night and early morning. As the day gets warmer the flowers take on a wilted appearance. The pollinators of these flowers are unclear. Fragrance is unusual in the genus and is commonly only found in S. sect. Pachyphylla (Bohs 1994). The floral development is also of interest, with the stamens of equal length on the first day the flower is open and then the filament of the lowermost anther doubling in length the following day (Figs. 13 C, D). Although herbarium sheets rarely display the feature, S. turneroides seems to spread rhizomatously. The hairs of S. turneroides are also unique in the section. While they superficially appear to be geniculate, like those of S. olympicum and S. hoffmanseggii, closer inspection shows that the hairs are simply bent downward on the stem and lack the 90 elbow bend that characterizes the hairs of the latter two species. Using scanning electron microscopy, the base of these hairs appears to have a ring of small lateral cells, hinting that perhaps these hairs are reduced stellate hairs. If so, it may suggest that the simple hairs found in this and other species of sect. Gonatotrichum may represent evolutionary reductions from stellate hairs. The protologue of S. turneroides cites many Hassler specimens as syntypes, all from Paraguay, but gives no herbarium locations. Hassler 4396 has been chosen from among the many syntypes cited because of the quality of the collection and its wide distribution in herbaria. The sheet from the Hassler herbarium at G is chosen as the lectotype. Bitter cited four syntypes in his protologue for S. gonatotrichum, including Fiebrig 2732 and three un-numbered specimens collected in Salta, Argentina by Hieronymus & Lorentz, all from Berlin and destroyed. A duplicate specimen of the only numbered syntype, Fiebrig 2732, is at Munich and we have designated this as the lectotype because of the quality of the material and widespread photographs of the specimen. Bitter’s protologue of S. geniculatistrigosum cited only a single specimen from B, the holotype, which was destroyed in 1942. Photos of this sheet remain at F, G, GH and WIS; a duplicate at BM has been designated the lectotype and isolectotypes have been seen at LE and P. Bitter also cited only one specimen of S. flavistrigosum at S, making it the holotype. The only unusual aspect of this is that Bitter describes the flowers in detail, but the specimen only has buds.	en	Stern, Stephen, Bohs, Lynn, Giacomin, Leandro, Stehmann, João, Knapp, Sandra (2013): A Revision of Solanum Section Gonatotrichum.
