( Abstract  from  Thesis. ) 
Since  its  introduction  to  the  medical  profession  by  Dr.  J.  L. 
Napier,  in  1889,  several  contributions  to  the  chemistry  of  Solanum 
Fig.  1  represents  a  portion  of  a  branch  of  Solanum  Carolinense.  It  shows 
the  spiny  stem,  bearing  the  rather  irregularly  shaped  leaves,  with  the  small 
axillary  leaves  and  the  racemose  flowers. 
Carolinense  have  appeared  in  this  Journal.  In  the  meantime  phar- 
macists have  become  better  acquainted  with  the  botany  of  this  plant.
