Rashida ji To me it does not look like S. violaceum which has recurved prickles with much broadened base and violet-blue flowers. For me the closest match seems to be S. capsicoides with straight slender prickles, densely prickly fruiting calyx and orange-red ripe fruits. Let us wait for more inputs.
