Dear Yazdy ji Thanks for your comments. In future I would suggest that we may photograph plants at different times (same plant to avoid confusion) but post it to the group when you have photographs of leaves, flowers, young fruits and mature fruits. This is specially true of Solanum in which a lot of species have been created out of broadly identified Solanum nigrum.
Yazdy ji, your fruits still don't seem ripe. Wait for them to ripe and then you may post the whole series. Young leaves of these species are likely to be confused. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
