List of Solanum species

This is a list of species in the plant genus "Solanum". There may be up to approximately 1500 species worldwide. With some 800 accepted specific and infra-specific taxa of the more than 4,000 described, the genus "Solanum" contains more species than any other genus in the family Solanaceae and it is one of the largest among the angiosperms.
Phylogenetic analysis of molecular data has established or confirmed that the genera "Lycopersicon," "Cyphomandra," "Normania," and "Triguera", which were previously classified independently, should in reality be included within the "Solanum". In fact, all the species from these four genera have been formally transferred to "Solanum". On the other hand, the genus "Lycianthes", which is sometimes included within the "Solanum", has been shown to be a separate genus.
The following alphabetical list of "Solanum" species provides the binomial name followed by the name of the species authority, abbreviated according to the appropriate conventions and uses.
The tuberous species within the genus (those related to Solanum tuberosum, the potato, and therefore often called wild potatoes) have been indicated with the letter T. The nothospecies belonging to the genus appear at the end of the list, that is those taxa that have originated from a hybrid between two different species (for example, "Solanum × viirsooi", which has been shown to be an interspecific hybrid resulting from the cross between "S. acaule" and " S. infundibuliforme".)
