Initial Editorial Comments Solanum villosum auth., not L., listed as synonym of Solanum sarrachoides in Munz; in no way mentioned in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]; indicated for CA, FL, PA, ME in Kartesz & Meacham; according to Source c, in California occurring as a waif, although conditions of cited occurrence (tomato field) seem not to qualify for inclusion in the flora according to criteria employed by Jepson Flora Project (25 Feb 2003)
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 $ 8 Feb 2002, from Margriet Wetherwax see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that, according to Schilling (Systematic Botany 6: 172-185, 1981; based on dissertation cited by Kartesz & Meacham), Solanum villosum (L.) Mill. occasionally has been introduced but has not persisted in NA, and that, according to PLANTS database, it occurs only in extreme ne US. [Correspondence 1 indicates that the species possibly has escaped but has not become naturalized in CA. However, it does not address Source b, which indicates the species in a tomato field, in ScV, in 1996, so that Current Status as tentative 4 is retained.]
