Solanaceae Week: Solanum pseudocapsicum from Kashmir:
Solanaceae Week: Solanum pseudocapsicum from Mandi Himachal Pradesh: – An ornamental, generally indoors for its long persisting fruit turning attractive when ripe. The famous writer L. H. Bailey had it in his study room, and formed the introduction of his book “How plants get their names”
Solanaceae Week- Ornamental Chilli: At the end of the week, I have remembered this chap hanging out of my
balcony, trying to get as much sun as possible. I saw this mail during resurfacing. It is not ornamental chilli. It is Solanum pseudocapsicum an ornamental plant with small cherry like fruits.
