Solanum giganteum, Jacq. (next to No. 34). An erect shrub-like plant growing to a height of 10-25 ft.: sts. somewhat woody, thickly set with short, stout prickles and white-woolly with stellate pubescence: lvs. oblong or oblong-elliptical, narrowed at both ends, about 8 in. long by 3 in. broad, smooth above, and white-tomentose beneath: fls. cymose, pale violet or blue; calyx small, hoary, unequally 5-cleft; corolla about 3/4 in. diam., rather deeply lobed; ovary puberulous: fr. red at maturity and about 1/3 in. diam. India and Ceylon.— A tender species flowering under cult. when about 4 ft. in height. It is doubtful whether this species is in the American trade, although probably it is as ornamental as other species more or less grown. The S. giganteum of lists may be merely a trade name applied to one of the tall-growing species otherwise described under Solanum.
