Solanum chrysotrichum Schltdl : Attachments (2). 6 posts by 5 authors. I think the pictures posted by … at efi thread also belongs to this species.
What do you think, …? Yes I think sir. Yes we had discussion about this plant earlier also. Can any one dig out the differences from S. hispidum with which it has been often confused?. Most net pictures show blue flowers but I dis not find this in the description. Perhaps differences in size is major feature. Perhaps it is more crucial to know differences between S. chrysotrichum and S. hispidum (now known as S. asperoplanatum, since Flora of Tamil Nadu records former (as updated on out website) whereas Flora of China, most of our plants being common with them records former.

This is tough for me to know what are the key differences between S. chrysotrichum and C. hispidum, please suggest proper id for this shrub, densely tomentose and armed with recurved spines. These pics were recorded from Karnal along a water channel..
S. hispidum ?? If … meant Solanum hispidum Pers. this is not the species as per available herbarium in the net. It is a truth that several plants reported in reputed Floras as S. hispidum actually belong to S. chrysotrichum. What I have learned from studying 2 or 3 herbarium found in the net, and thereby of very little value if not none, is that in S. asperolanatum (i) sepals are not much extended as in chrysotrichum, both in buds and in fruits (ii) fruiting peduncle is not much clavate as in chrysotrichum, of course guessed simply based on rjb.revistas.csic.es/index.php/rjb/article/download/295/290
Please tell me if anywhere I went wrong.  Solanum chrysotrichum Schltdl.SN 15March 07 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) Solanum chrysotrichum Schltdl, very common shrub throughout Yercaud; good example for the domination of invaded species. in full bloom with bright white flower bunches. Seems to be getting very common at several places. I found it in Pathankot, … in Dehradun and Karnal. But the question remains, since plant had earlier been confused with S. hispidum Pers, (even some South Indian Floras Reported S. hispidum) now known Solanum asperolanatum Ruiz & Pav., we have to find differences between the two to fix our species.      Solanaceae Fortnight:: Solanum shrub for id-NS Feb 40/40 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (5) It looks like the plant in the thread.
If the accepted name for the proper ID is the point of concern the paper at
Two herbaria at
and http://elmer.rbge.org.uk/bgbase/queryRow=1 may also help.
It appears to me in S. asperolanatum Ruiz & Pav., sepals are not so much extended as can be seen in those pictures submitted to our group in different threads. Moreover, fruiting pedicel also not that much clavate as can be seen in … post.
