  • Question

    I have a plant that my friend gave me seeds for. We do not know what it is, I have a couple of pictures of it, can you help identify it?

    Answer

    Dear jfz8034, your plant is a member of the Solanum nigrum complex (black nightshade). Because Go Botany is experiencing an issue with image uploads, I can only see one picture of the four your shared. If you would send the images to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org, I could tell you which species you have in hand. Best wishes.
