Solanum fructescens, &c Burm. Zeyl. p. 220. t. 102, is a pretty 

 good representation of this plant, but I think Dillemus's S. indicum 

 spinosum jiore boragineo t. 270. f. 349- must have been taken from 

 a very different species, the flowers being much too large, and the 

 leaves too deeply divided for our East Indian plant. 



Trunk trifling, but the branches are numerous, ligneous, and pe- 

 lennial, forming a large, very ramous shrub of several feet in height, 

 armed with numerous very acute, somewhat recurved spines; ths 

 young parts are downy.— Leaves solitary, or in pairs, petioled, ovate- 

 lobate, downy, and armed with a few straight spines ou both sides,
