1. Solanum Linn. 
1. S. nigrum (L.) ; st. herbaceous with tubercled angles, 1. ovate 
obtusely dentate or wavy, fl. drooping, hairs incurved upwards. 
— E. B. 566. St. 1. 4. — Umbel from the intermediate spaces be- 
tween the leaves. L. attenuated below. Fr. -stalks thickened 
upwards. Berries globular, black, or nearly green when ripe. 
St. a foot or more high. — /3. miniatum ; angles of the st. with 
prominent tubercles, 1. sinuate-dentate. Closely allied to this 
species but differs by its more deeply toothed 1. which are less 
attenuated below, its patent (?) pubescence and red berries. 
S. miniatum Bernh. ? R. Icon. f. 1327.?— Waste ground. /3. Jer- 
sey. A. VII. — X. Black Nightshade. 
2. <S. Dulcamara (L.) ; st. shrubby zigzag, 1. cordate-ovate, 
upper I. auriculate -hast ate, fl. drooping. — E. B. 565. St. 18. 3. — 
Fl. purple with 2 green spots at the base of each segment. Berries 
ovate, red. St. climbing to the height of 12 — 14 feet, nearly 
round, almost glabrous throughout. — /3. tomentosum (Koch) ; st. 
and 1. downy with patent hairs. — y. marinum; branches of the 
present year and 1. fleshy and usually clothed with hairs incurved 
upwards, st. angular prostrate diffuse much branched, 1. all (?) 
cordate not hastate. This is the S. lignosum seu Dulcamara 
marina Ray 265, and appears, as far as I can judge from dry 
specimens, to have a more deeply divided cal. with rounded 
blunt segments. Is it not a distinct species ? — a,, and /3. woods 
and hedges, common, y. pebbly sea-beach at Renville, Cunna- 
mara, Galway; and the Lizard Point, Cornwall. Sh. VI. VII.
