Solanaceae week- Solanum erianthum from Morni Hills: – I photographed this shrub growing in a vacant plot in Bangalore and put it up on ITP for ID -unsuccessfully.
were the leaves very course? it seems to be Ficus exasperata called Kharwat in marathi
family Moraceae Kharwat has very rough and coarse leaves
To me it is not Ficus exasperata.
Are you sure the two pictures are taken from the same plant?
I feel different.
The first one seems like solanum sp. (not confident)
The second one seems like Justicia sp.
Please check. Solanum erianthum D. Don, not that key features are evident in pictures but just because I am a Puneite and I have seen this tree in this location. Agreeing with … id: Solanum erianthum.
