Altitudinal range from 150-1500 m. Usually grows as a weed on agricultural land but also found along roads and in disturbed areas in rain forest. Natural History & Notes Several species have been included under this name, and, because of this, it is difficult to draw conclusions about toxicity. Most cases of suspected poisoning have been due to ingestion of leaves and unripe fruit. (Everist 1974). Ripe fruits are sometimes eaten by adventurous people but in view of the confusion prevailing in the taxonomy and nomenclature it would be wise to be cautious with this species. This species may have medicinal properties. This species has been used medicinally in many parts of the world.

  • Solanum Nigrum from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Solanum nigrum From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Solanum nigrum (European black nightshade or locally just "black nightshade", duscle, Solanum nigrum garden nightshade, "garden huckleberry", hound's berry, petty morel, wonder berry, small- fruited black nightshade or popolo) is a species in the Solanum genus, native to Eurasia and introduced in the Americas, Australasia and South Africa. Parts of this plant can be toxic to livestock and humans, and it is considered a weed. Nonetheless, ripe berries and cooked leaves of edible strains are used as food in some locales; and plant parts are used as a Scientific classification traditional medicine. There is a tendency in literature to incorrectly refer to many of the Kingdom: Plantae other "black nightshade" species as "Solanum (unranked): Angiosperms nigrum".[1] (unranked): Eudicots Solanum nigrum has been recorded from (unranked): Asterids deposits of the Paleolithic and Mesolithic era of ancient Britain and it is suggested by the Order: Solanales botanist and ecologist, Edward Salisbury, Family: Solanaceae that it was part of the native flora there before Neolithic agriculture emerged.[2] The Genus: Solanum species was mentioned by Pliny the Elder in Species: S. nigrum the 1st century AD and by the great Binomial name herbalists, including Dioscorides.[3] In 1753 Carl Linnaeus described six varieties of Solanum nigrum [4] Solanum nigrum in Species Plantarum.

It reduces crop and pasture yields for farmers in the wheat-sheep zone of Australia. In 1992 South Africa released a beetle (SLN leaf beetle – SLNLB) from North America to eat SLN. It was very successful, and so this project aimed to test whether it was suitable for release in Australia. A team of seven scientists based in Adelaide (PIRSA and DEW), Melbourne (DEDJTR) and Wagga Wagga (NSWDPI) joined forces to work on the project. It was funded by the Australian Government, MLA, PIRSA and SAGIT. SLNLB was imported into Melbourne under quarantine laboratory conditions and was offered a wide range of native plants and crops closely-related to SLN.

  • Solanum Opacum
    Threatened Species Link www.tas.gov.au SPECIES MANAGEMENT PROFILE Solanum opacum greenberry nightshade Group: Magnoliophyta (flowering plants), Magnoliopsida (dicots), Solanales, Solanaceae Status: Threatened Species Protection Act 1995: endangered Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999: Not listed Endemic Found in Tasmania and elsewhere Status: Solanum opacum (greenberry nightshade) is a sprawling annual or short-lived herb, predominantly associated with poorly-drained swamp forests and riparian areas. The species is known from 9 sites across northern Tasmania and the Bass Strait islands with historical land clearing likely contributing to its very disjunct distribution. The data suggest that the total population in Tasmania is small, and likely to number fewer than 250 plants and occupy well less than 1 ha in total, placing it at risk from chance events, the risk exacerbated as plants may not be seen or only persist in low numbers in between disturbance events. Plants could be accidentally removed as they are similar to the weed Solanum nigrum (black nightshade). The most important needs of Solanum opacum are periodic disturbance for recruitment, and to prevent overgrazing by stock, competition from weeds, and destruction of known and potential habitat by clearing or degradation. A complete species management profile is not currently available for this species. Check for further information on this page and any relevant Activity Advice.​ Key Points Important: Is this species in your area? Do you need a permit? Ensure you’ve covered all the issues by checking the Planning Ahead page. Important: Different threatened species may have different requirements. For any activity you are considering, read the Activity Advice pages for background information and important advice about managing around the needs of multiple threatened species.
