Dear Friends, without the fruits it is difficult to identify. If not for the fur like growth on the leaves and tender shoots, I would think it is Solanum viarum. In any case, I will have a walk and try to find out if we have anything like them with fruits. Flowers are white and the like the flowers of S viarum. The prickles are like those on S. viarum but the hair like structures confuse me. Shall revert back tomorrow. Regards Yazdy.
