The publication <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10722-016-0467-z> (*Solanum insanum L. (subgenus Leptostemonum Bitter, Solanaceae), the neglected wild progenitor of eggplant (S. melongena L.): a review of taxonomy, characteristics and uses aimed at its enhancement for improved eggplant breeding*- Published: 22 November 2016- R. H. G. Ranil, J. Prohens, X. Aubriot, H. M. L. Niran, M. Plazas, R. M. Fonseka, S. Vilanova, H. H. Fonseka, P. Gramazio & S. Knapp) says *Solanum insanum* is morphologically similar to the mostly African species *S. incanum* (distributed from northern Africa to Pakistan, see Vorontsova and Knapp 2016 <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10722-016-0467-z#ref-CR86>), but can be distinguished from it in its sparser pubescence, less robust and usually straighter prickles, larger flowers, and distribution in Asia (see Table 1 <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10722-016-0467-z#Tab1>; Vorontsova and Knapp 2016 <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10722-016-0467-z#ref-CR86>). In view, should we consider our observations at *Solanum incanum* L. <https://efloraofindia.com/2013/05/22/solanum-incanum/> (except those from kenya and Oman) and *Solanum insanum* L. <https://efloraofindia.com/2011/03/30/solanum-insanum/> as *Solanum insanum* L.
