Description
Perennial herbs to 3 m tall, sometimes epiphytic. Stems terete or more usually angled to ridged, green or sometimes tinged purplish green, usually lax and somewhat scrambling, glabrescent to sparsely pubescent with antrorse simple eglandular uniseriate trichomes to 1 mm long, these white when dry and usually somewhat curved, occasionally on older stems the trichome bases enlarged and forming spinescent processes; new growth more densely pubescent. Sympodial units difoliate, geminate or not, the leaves if paired of similar size and shape. Leaves simple, (1.5)4–10.5(15) cm long, (0.5)2–5(7.5) cm wide, elliptic to elliptic ovate, membranous; surfaces sparsely to moderately pubescent with simple eglandular uniseriate trichomes to 1 mm long, these denser on the veins and abaxially; principal veins 5–6 pairs; base abruptly attenuate, usually decurrent on the petiole; margins entire to sinuate or dentate, the teeth irregular and unevenly spaced, often larger in the basal half of the lamina; apex acute or occasionally acuminate; petiole 0.5–2 cm long, sparsely pubescent like the stems and leaves. Inflorescence 1–3.5 cm long, lateral and internodal, unbranched to occasionally forked, with (2)5–10 flowers clustered at the tip (sub-umbelliform) or spaced along the rhachis (depending on inflorescence age), sparsely pubescent with antrorse simple eglandular trichomes like the stems; rhachis 0.3–1 cm long; peduncle 1–2.5 cm long, slender, spreading; pedicels 0.4–0.7 cm long, slender and threadlike, spreading at anthesis, ca. 1 mm in diameter at the base, ca. 0.5 mm in diameter at the apex, sparsely pubescent like the inflorescence axis. Buds ellipsoid with blunt tips, the corolla strongly exserted from the calyx tube long before anthesis. Flowers 5-merous, all perfect. Calyx tube 1–1.2 mm, conical, the lobes 0.5–0.8(1) mm long, 0.5–1 mm wide, broadly deltate to deltate, the apices acute or occasionally somewhat rounded. Corolla 8–10 mm in diameter, white or less often pale purple, with a green or yellow-green (very occasionally dark purple) central portion near the base of the lobes, stellate, lobed ca. 3/4 of the way to the base, the lobes 3–4 mm long, 1.5–2 mm wide, narrowly triangular, reflexed or spreading, densely papillate abaxially, the papillae ca. 0.1 mm long, denser at the tips and margins. Stamens equal; filament tube minute; free portion of the filaments 0.5–2 mm long, densely pubescent adaxially with tangled simple trichomes; anthers 2–2.8(3) mm long, 1–1.1 mm wide, yellow, ellipsoid or narrowly ellipsoid, sagittate at the base, poricidal at the tips, the pores lengthening to slits with age. Ovary globose, glabrous; style 3.5–5 mm long, usually somewhat curved, often exserted from the bud before anthesis, densely pubescent in the basal 2/3 (the portion inside the anther cone), exserted from the anther cone; stigma minutely capitate, the surface papillose. Fruit a globose berry, 6–8 mm in diameter, dull green to purplish black at maturity, opaque, the pericarp thin and usually matte but sometimes slightly shiny; fruiting pedicels 10–12 mm long, ca. 0.5 mm in diameter at the base, ca. 1 mm in diameter at the apex, not markedly woody, spreading, dropping with mature fruits or occasionally remaining on the inflorescence rhachis; fruiting calyx not accrescent, tube ca. 1 mm long, the lobes 0.5–1.1 mm long, spreading and appressed to the berry, very occasionally somewhat reflexed. Seeds (5)10–50 per berry, 1.2–1.5 mm long, 1–1.1 mm wide, tear-drop shaped, pale brown to yellow, the surfaces minutely pitted, the testal cells square or pentagonal in shape, becoming elongate and rectangular near the subapical hilum. Stone cells 4–13, mostly commonly 5 or 6, rather large ca. 0.5 mm in diameter. Chromosome number: 2n=2×=24 (Heiser 1955[3] as S.costaricense; Heiser et al. 1965[4] as S.amethystinum).
Distribution
(Figure 29) Solanumnigrescens is a widespread species ranging from the southeastern United States of America through Central America, northern South America, and the Caribbean; in the southeastern United States of America it is found along the Gulf Coast and slightly inland but does not extend to the Great Plains.
Ecology
Solanumnigrescens is most commonly collected from open areas in cloud forests, deciduous forests and pine forests between sea level and 3,000 m elevation in the region, but most common at lower elevations (ca. 1500 m) in Central America.

Preliminary conservation status (IUCN 2017[6])
Least Concern (LC). Solanumnigrescens is widespread and weedy in the southern United States, throughout Mexico and Central America and in the Caribbean; it also occurs in northern South America. It has been registered as a noxious weed of agriculture in Louisiana (Orgeron et al. 2018[7]). For EOO see Table 6.
Discussion
Solanumnigrescens is one of the commonest and most widely distributed of all morelloid species in Central America of America and the Caribbean. It is very variable morphologically, perhaps due to its wide ecological tolerance and occurrence in many different habitats. It is sympatric or occurs parapatrically with S.americanum, S.douglasii (in Mexico), S.interius and S.pseudogracile. It may hybridize with S.americanum in the southeastern United States (see discussion under S.americanum). Distinguishing features of each of those taxa can be found in the discussions of those species. Solanumnigrescens is a perennial and has been reported to be epiphytic (D’Arcy 1974a[2], b[8]). Where it and S.americanum occur in sympatry, the matte berries with appressed to spreading calyx lobes of S.nigrescens are distinct from the shiny berries with strongly reflexed tiny calyx lobes of S.americanum; anther length also differs (0.7–1.5 mm in S.americanum versus 2–2.8(3) mm in S.nigrescens). In central Mexico, were S.nigrescens and S.douglasii co-occur, anther length (3–4 mm in S.douglasii versus 1.8–2.5 mm in S.nigrescens) is a good distinguishing feature; in fruit, these two taxa can be almost impossible to tell apart. Nee (1993)[9] considered S.nigrescens to occupy wetter forest types than does S.douglasii but did not have not enough material from Veracruz to make the distinction. We find that the two species occur in very similar habitats, but that S.nigrescens is a more Caribbean species on the eastern side of the Sierra Madre and around the Gulf of Mexico, while S.douglasiioccurs along the Pacific coast and into central Mexico, but also does occur in the Chihuahuan Desert biome. Specimens from Quintana Roo identified as S.nigrum in Sousa and Cabrera (1983)[10] are S.nigrescens (Cabrera 875, 1151). Like most of these morelloid species, it is very weedy and occupies a wide range of disturbed and undisturbed habitats.
In the southeastern United States (e.g., Texas) the distributions of S.nigrescens and S.interius are very close if not interdigitating. Solanumnigrescens can be distinguished from S.interius in its smaller seeds, more numerous stone cells in the berry and usually acute calyx lobe apices. The unusual pedicel articulation of the basal flower (in the lower third of the pedicel) in the inflorescences of S.interius has not been seen in S.nigrescens. Solanumnigrescens also appears to occur in more mesic and coastal habitats than S.interius, which is a species of the Great Plains.
Material identified as S.americanum by Manoko et al. (2007)[11] represents specimens of S.nigrescens (see Särkinen et al. 2018[12]: 61).
Bitter (1914)[13] reported large numbers of stone cells in the berries of many of the names we consider synonyms of S.nigrescens. In general, S.nigrescens has more stone cells in its berries than does the similar S.douglasii, but these can be difficult to see as some of them are very tiny.
Dunal (1852)[14] cited several specimens in describing S.nodiflorumvar.puberulum, all from the Candolle herbarium at G: “Carolina meridionali, Fraser”, “Florida, Mich.f.”, “Mexico circa Bejar, Berlandier 1904” and “China, Staunton”. Of these, the Fraser collection is a mixed collection composed of two tiny fragments of S.nigrescens (G00144217) and one larger fragment of Capsicumannuum L. (G00144268), mounted on the same sheet is a tiny fragment of S.americanum attributed to Michaux filius (G00144264), and the Staunton sheet (G00144265) is of a plant of S.americanum. Edmonds inadvertently (see Prado et al. 2015[15]) selected as the lectotype for this name the sheet of Berlandier 1904 held in G-DC (G00144231) by citing it as “holotype”; this is fortunate because it is unambiguous, was cited by Dunal (1852)[14], and has duplicated in several other herbaria. When Berlandier was collecting, southern Texas was part of Mexico, and Bejar was the name for what today is San Antonio, the capital of Bexar County.
D’Arcy (1974a)[2] lectotypified Solanumcaribaeum citing a specimen from Jamaica in “G-DC ex Kew”. In the protologue of S.caribaeumDunal (1852)[14] cited “In insulis Caribaeis, Jamaica, Guadalupâ (ex h. DC)” suggesting that more than one specimen was consulted. In G-DC there is a single specimen with the label “S. caribearum Nob. 1835” (G00144199) that is the only element of unambiguous material we have seen, and we designate this sheet in a second stage lectotypification. It is clear that more than this single sheet was used in the preparing the description, G00144199 has only fruits and the description has details of both flowers and fruits.
Kuntze (1891)[16] equated his S.nigrumvar.amethystinum with “S.nigrum subsp. genuinum Sendtn.” a name not validly published (see Särkinen et al. 2018[12]) and distinguished it by its violet flowers. He did not explicitly cite specimens but did cite the locality “Costa Rica. Irazu”. We have selected the specimen in Kuntze’s herbarium held at NY (NY00688134) as the neotype for this name.
Both S.prionopterum (Bitter 1912a[17]) and S.gollmeri (Bitter 1912b[18]) were described from material collected by J. Gollmer around Caracas, in two separate publications. It is likely that the seed collection grown in Berlin in 1859 that was used to describe S.gollmeri was derived from the same material collected in 1854 in Venezuela. The holotypes in B for both these names were destroyed; the photograph of the holotype of S.gollmeri (F neg. 2689) has a tiny leaf fragment attached, but no such material is associated with the photograph taken of the holotype of S.prionopterum (F neg. 2699). We designate this fragment (F-621268) as the lectotype of S.gollmeri; it is not, however, original material for S.prionopterum, and we hope a duplicate of the Gollmer collection from 1854 used to describe S.prionopterum will eventually be found.
Bitter (1913)[19] described S.pruinosumvar.phyllolophum from living material originally sent by David Fairchild of the USDA as No. 32065; he cited no specimens. In the Germplasm Resources Information Network of the USDA (USDA 2017[20]) the germplasm accession PI-32065 is recorded as “S.nigrum” collected by C.A. Purpus in Puebla, Mexico. Fairchild (1912)[21] recorded the exact locality as “Esperanza, Puebla, 2,700 m [9,850 feet]”. We have not yet seen a collection made by Carl Purpus with this exact information, hence do not designate a neotype until we have searched more exhaustively for a collection with the correct locality. It may be Purpus only collected seeds, and not herbarium specimens.
Bitter (1913)[19] described S.subelineatum from living material original sent from the USDA as No. 32067 grown in the Bremen botanical garden; he cited no specimens. In the Germplasm Resources Information Network of the USDA (USDA 2017[20]) the germplasm accession PI-32067 is recorded as “S.nigrum” collected by C.A. Purpus in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Fairchild (1913) recorded the exact locality as “Rascon, San Luis Potosí, 400 to 500 m [1,300 to 1,650 feet]”. As with S.pruinosumvar.phyllolophum we refrain from lectotypifying this anticipating encountering a duplicate.
In describing S.oligospermumBitter (1913)[19] cited two specimens of Pringle 4948 at “herb. Haussknecht.!, Turic.!” (today JE and Z). Edmonds (1972)[1] inadvertently lectotypified this name with the Z sheet by stating “(Z holotype!)” (see Prado et al. 2015[15]). We here specify the individual sheet (Z000033841) in that herbarium that is the lectotype. There are many well-preserved duplicates of this collection (see synonymy), all with flowers and fruit.
Solanumapproximatum, S.durangoense, and S.purpuratum were described (Bitter 1913[19]) from B sheets that are now destroyed. We have selected lectotypes for these names from the large number of extant duplicates, using the best-preserved sheets with both flowers and fruits (if possible).
Many specimens of S.nigrescens from Venezuela in US were annotated as “S.jahnii Bitter” by C.V. Morton, a designation not validly published (nomen nudum) based on Jahn 588. That collection corresponds to S.interandinum Bitter, a taxon not known from Central America or Mexico.
Heiser (1955)[3] cited only IND as the type in the protologue of S.costaricense, two sheets in IND are labelled “Type”. The sheets are clearly labelled as “sheet 1” and “sheet 2” and we interpret them as a two-sheet holotype (see Turland et al. 2018[22], Art. 8, Ex. 7). IND-1000068 is the better material, with flowers and complete vegetative material.
