Solanum inodorum Vell.

Woody vine, climbing with twining petioles. Stems glabrous and shiny; new growth glabrous and shiny, occasionally with a few papillae. Bark of older stems white or creamy white, exfoliating. Sympodial units plurifoliate. Leaves simple, 3–11 cm long, 1–4.5 cm wide, elliptic to narrowly elliptic, coriaceous, slightly discolorous, both surfaces completely glabrous and shiny; primary veins 8–10, only the midrib visible above; base acute; margins entire, strongly revolute; apex acute; petioles 0.4–0.7(-2.6) cm long, glabrous, wrinkling when dry, the outer cells exfoliating like the stems, twining and curling around supports to aid climbing. Inflorescences terminal on axillary short shoots, but leaves on short shoots soon deciduous so the inflorescence appearing axillary, 1–6 cm long, simple to twice branched, with 5–20 flowers, these clustered at the tips or not, glabrous; peduncle 0.7–4 cm long; pedicels 1–1.5 cm long, slender, ca. 0.5 mm in diameter at the base, ca. 1 mm in diameter at the apex, completely glabrous, articulated at the base in a small sleeve; pedicel scars irregularly spaced, some clustered at tips of inflorescence branches, others to 5 mm apart. Buds ellipsoid, the corolla strongly exserted from the calyx before anthesis. Flowers all perfect, 5-merous. Calyx tube 1–1.5 mm long, conical, the lobes 1–1.5 mm long, triangular, glabrous but the tips minutely papillate. Corolla 1.3–2 cm in diameter, white, fragrant (fide Mentz and Oliveira 2004), stellate, lobed 2/3 to 3/4 of the way to the base, the lobes 5–7 mm long, 2.5–4.5 mm wide, spreading at anthesis, densely papillate on the tips and margins, otherwise glabrous. Filament tube minute, the free portion of the filaments 1–1.5 mm long, glabrous, or with a few trichomes at the base (fide Mentz and Oliveira 2004); anthers 4–6.5 mm long, ca. 1 mm wide, ellipsoid, yellow, loosely connivent, poricidal at the tips, the pores usually lengthening to slits with age. Ovary glabrous; style 7–9 mm long, glabrous; stigma minutely clavate, the surface minutely papillose. Fruit a globose or depressed-globose berry, 0.5–0.9 cm in diameter, red or pale reddish pink when ripe, the pericarp thin and shiny, the juice staining scarlet; fruiting pedicels 1–2-1.5 cm long, ca. 1 mm in diameter at the base, slightly woody, pendent. Seeds few per berry, ca. 3 mm long, ca. 3 mm wide, flattened reniform, pale yellow or straw-colored, the surfaces minutely pitted. Chromosome number: not known.

(Figure 50). Endemic to southeastern Brazil from the states of São Paulo to Rio Grande do Sul, from 800-1600 m.
