The following specimens, seen in Herb. Kew. under Solanum, 
require careful comparison with this plant: Spruce's nos. 4182 
and 4849 from Tarapota (but not the finely lepidote specimen 
from the same place); R. Tate's 262, labeled Solanum foetidum, 
and Gaudot's New Grenada specimen, labeled S. radiatum. It is 
the same as Rusby's 765 from Bolivia.
