Solanum nigrescens

#769 They called me Solanum nigrescens, also known as Solanum jahnii, Solanum nigrum var. dillenii, and Solanum rojasii. I pay homage to the male botanists Alfredo Jahn, Dillen (I couldn’t find his records), and Rojas (I couldn’t find his records). They first catalogued me in 1845.
