Well it is this one, finally identified correctly as Solanum diphyllum, a plant we earlier thought as S. pseudocapsicum. Solanum diphyllum is shrub like former, but leaves are unequal, flower clusters with more than 3 flowers, berries yellow and slightly bilobed. It is often cultivated and I have found it growing in Herbal Garden and Old Delhi Ridge. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Associate Professor, Department of Botany, SGTB Khalsa College University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018 Phone: 011025518297; Mobile: 9810359089 http://people.du.ac.in/~singhg45/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "indiantreepix" group.
