Thanks Satishji. This is a very common plant in Orissa, and it is found up to an elevation of 200 to 800 m above msl in dryer parts of Orissa.

With the merger of Solanum aculeatissimum with S. capsicoides (as per Kew Plant list) the latter species can now have both pale yellow, orange red or red fruits even in ripe stage. What I know about these two (when they were considered separate species) that their leaves are more greener, somewhat shining and prickles are much longer (up to 2 cm long as against only 5 mm long in S. viarum). Let us explore this further. I have yet to change my information in the website where S. capsicoides and S. aculeatissimum are treated as separate. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh The fruits of S capsicoides first of all turn reddish yellow and later turn into red as it fully ripens. If you go through my uploading last year, you will see the pictures posted from time to time as it matures and ripens. The same fruit turns first into yellow and then as it ripens it turns into red gradually. Next, I have uploaded pictures of S Viarum that has prickles that are around 12 mm and more.

[efloraofindia:90352] Solanum viarum Solanum capsicoides (and Solanum aculeatissimum)
Dear friends Solanum viarum and Solanum capsicoides (and S. aculeatissimum) are closely related but distinct species that have an interesting history in Indian context. Clarke in Flora of British India described *Solanum khasianum*Clarke characterized by hisute stems, straight spreading prickles, deeply lobed hirsute leaves covered with up to 2 cm long straight prickles on both surfaces, flowers in lateral clusters of 1-4 flowers, nearly 2 cm across flowers (white to pink), hirsute unarmed calyx and 2 cm across yellow berries, with fruiting calyx about 8 mm long. Distributed in Khasia hills Assam and Manipur. This species is now known to be the synonym of *Solanum aculeatissimum* Jacq. Flora of Britsh India also described Solanum aculeatissimum Jacq. characterised by very slender straight prickles, lobed leaves which are sparsely hairy, 1-7 flowered clusters, each producing usually one fruit, berry 3 cm; calyx in fruit prickly but barely 6 mm long and seeds winged. It also has berry which is pale green with dark markings when young orange red when mature. This plant of Clarke as understood now is *Solanum capsicoides All.* and not S. aculeatissimum Jacq., In 1961 Sen Gupta established a distinct variety from Nilghiri mountains in Tamil Nadu, differentiated by softly pubescent plants, densely glandular pubescence, distinctly recurved prickles on stem, shallowly lobed leaves, prickly calyx with shorter ovate or deltoid lobes and pubescent ovary. This variety is now being considered as synonym of *Solanum viarum* Dunal. Although The Plant list treats Solanum aculeatissimum Jacq. as synonym of S. capsicoides ll., both GRIN (updated November, 2010) and Flora of China treat them distinct. In any case we should be looking for three types of plants *Solanum viarum:* Yellow berries, densely hairy and glandular pubescent stems and leaves, short broad based curved (barely 5 mm long) prickles in addition to long straight ones on stem and straight strong up to 18 mm long on petiole and both leaf surfaces, densely glandular and sparsely prickly calyx, and shallowly lobed leaves. *Solanum capsicoides*: Berries orange red when mature, green with dark green markings when young; stems with slender delicate priclkles; leaves some what shining, sparsely hairy, deeply lobed, shorter prickly calyx. *Solanum aculeatissimum*: Yellow berries, straight prickles, more hairy deeply lobed leaves , hirsute unarmed calyx with longer fruiting calyx.

Happy Diwali Pankaj ji and all members I hope you never attended my taxonomy classes, but what you narrated is exactly what I tell my students in the begining of taxonomy lecture starting with the statement every human being is a taxonomist from craddle to grave starting to learn identifying people (initially only through smile) and then remembering their names (nomenclature) and as his numbers grow grouping (classification) into friends, uncles, aunties, brothers, sisters, etc., how he/she recognizes different types of fruits, vegetables, clothes etc. in stores and remembers their names and grouping. Of course it would take one full lecture to correlate life and taxonomy. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.

Long back during my school days, frankly speaking I was too poor in maths and physics. I dont hesitate to say that I still am. I was being taught Newtons Laws of Gravity and one very interesting thing that ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY IS INDEPENDENT OF MASS. We used to live in a two storeyed building. I (in 11th standard) was standing on the roof and had a young kid from neighborhood was there. He might be in 2nd or 3rd standard. Just to impress him I took one small pebble and a small wood in my hand. And leaned over the railing and asked the kid, which will reach the ground first. He said. pebble. I said, what if do a magic and make them reach at the same time. He said, thats impossible. I said, I can show you. He said, you should first put a bet for a chocolate. I said, ok. So just as I was about to drop it, he said, bhaiya, wo hawa me ud jayega samjha karo (literally meaning, wood will get blown in air, you should understand that). But by the time I realised the mistake, I had already lost the bet. So whats the moral of the story? WE SHOULD NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE CAPABILITIES OF OTHERS. This group has people from different parts of India and abroad with different professional backgrounds and different culture and way of living too. We are here to learn from each other and gain more knowledge and more expertise on Indian plants. This is a source of knowledge which all of us are seeking and nothing else. But gradually this group has become like an institution and even like a family. More than 95% of the people dont know each other personally but yet they are connected, trying to help each other selflessly. I always tell my students that a botanist is not the one who studies botany, but the one who loves plant and a taxonomist is not the one who reads books of taxonomy. A taxonomist is the one who knows how to differentiate things. A kid, the first word he says, MUMMY makes him of her a taxonomist (not plant taxonomist though) because due to some physical characteristics he is able to differentiate mom and dad and then he or she gradually starts recognising more and more people around, hence he deserves to be called a taxonomist. We should always respect this selfless group who adores every one and wants to spread its knowledge to everyone too. Every person's understanding of plants is different, but its all science and we all are learning that part of science.called plant science (botany) as well as the mode of communication which comes as a bonus. With this bonus in mind, I wish you all a very Happy Dhanteras and a very Happy and Prosperous Deepawali. Long live eflora!!! Long live our institution!!! Of course, LONG LIVE PLANTS!!!
