Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
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. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture. It may be out of date, but still contains valuable and interesting information which can be incorporated into the remainder of the article. Click on "Collapse" in the header to hide this text.
