Karuna ji The Plant List seems to be creating more problems than solving. GRIN as well as Flora of China (Which I rel more), even Tropicos (a very reliable database) and many others treat them distinct. Your plant looks like S. americanum, but I would like you to check the size of flowers and ripe fruits. Once we know which is our plant, its taxonomic status is secondary.
S. americanum: Flowers 4-5 mm across; fruit 6-8 mm in diam, shiny black; anthers shorter than 1.5 mm S. nigrum: Flowers 8-10 mm across; fruit 8-10 mm across, dull black; anthers 2.5-3 mm long Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
