472 FLORA NIGRITIANA. 
LXXIX. SoLANACE. 
l. Physalis somnifera, Linn.—Cape Palmas, Vogel; a com- 
mon N, and E. African, S. European, and E. Indian plant. 
2. Physalis angulata, Linn.—N. ab E., Linnea, 6. p. 4741— 
Common in cultivated places, from Sierra Leone to the 
Niger. 
I am not quite certain whether this should be referred to 
P. angulata or to P. equata, both of them widely spread in 
Tropical regions. The specimens are perfectly smooth, as is 
usual with P. angulata; but the fruit-calyx, so far as I can judge 
in their badly-dried state, is not so decidedly angled. On most 
of the labels, Vogel states the flowers to be yellow; on one, 
however, attached to a specimen not otherwise distinguish- 
able from the remainder, he has noted: “ Flores lutei, bas! 
brunnei.” 
3. Physalis minima, Linn.—N. ab E., Linnea, 6. p. 479.—On 
the Quorra, at Attah, Vogel; an East Indian species. 
1. Capsicum annuum, Linn.—Common in cultivated places 
at Sierra Leone, Vogel; an East Indian and American 
plant. 
1. Lycopersicum esculentum, Mill.—Dun. Syn. Sol. p. 4— 
Common in cultivated grounds at Fernando Po, Vogel.— 
"This, the Tomato, or Love-apple, of American origin, appears 
to be frequently found growing naturally in the Old World, 
escaped from cultivation. 
. Solanum nodiflorum, Jaeq.— Dun. Monogr. Sol. p. 191.— 
Sierra Leone, Don, Vogel. : 
This common East Indian species can hardly be distin- 
guished, except by its strageling habit and perennial stem, from 
the ubiquitous S. nigrum, Linn., of which the S. Guineensó 
lam. appears to be a large-fruited variety. 
2. Solanum sp.—Acera, and ruins of Addanda, on the Quorre; 
Vogel. 
An unarmed, suffrutescent, stellately-tomentose and small- 
flowered species, which I cannot identify with any published
