Sir, In 'Bengal Plants', I find the entry as - *Solanum xanthocarpum* Schrad. & Wendl.; F. B. I. iv. 236; E. D. S. 2345. *S. diffusum* F. I. i. 568. *S. jacquini* F. I. i. 569.
In FoP I have noticed all the above three names under *Solanum surattense* Burm. f. <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=230005939> This was the reason behind the title of my earlier upload <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/indiantreepix/HocIWbCCTQA/YWXO4zg8lP8J>. I do not know if *S. surattense* is distinct from *S. virginianum* or not. What I know is that my plant is *S. xanthocarpum*. Now, from your reply I also come to know that I should accept *S. virginianum* L. as current accepted name for the *S. xanthocarpum* of 'Bengal Plants'. Thank you very much.
