solanaceaesource <https://solanaceaesource.myspecies.info/taxonomy/term/107381/descriptions> gives quite a detailed inf. Pl. check with this also and confirm. As per this: Deb (1979) relegated *S. hovei* to the synonymy of the widespread and highly variable *Solanum violaceum* (as *S. indicum*). *Solanum violaceum* differs from *S. hovei* in having recurved cauline prickles, broadly elliptic to ovate leaves, sinuate to more deeply lobed leaf margins, rounded to subcordate leaf bases, and erect fruiting pedicels. In contrast, *S. hovei* has predominantly straight cauline prickles, rhombic to subelliptic leaves, shallowly triangular-lobed leaf margins, acute to short-attenuate leaf bases, and often recurved fruiting pedicels.
