These photographs were uploaded by Satish Phadke ji on October 3, 2010 from Hanuman Tekdi. There was a long discussion between me and Pankaj, wherein I considered it as S. americanum (formerly the two were considered as distinct species) because of smaller flowers, shining black berries and mainly erect peduncles and pedicels, and Pankaj ji calling it as S. nigrum. Now perhsps this question in not important because the two species are now considered as synonymous, with S. americanum as the accepted name.
I am as such forwarding these photographs again. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
