| Solanum japonense
is a perennial, lianous herb that grows at the edges of forests in
mountainous areas. Its stems are hairless. The leaves are arranged
alternately and have an ovate-oblong shape with entire margins; the
lower leaves are cleft into 3 to 5 segments. Light purple flowers
bloom in cymose inflorescences that emerge from the leaf axils. Each
flower has a corolla divided into four deep segments, each measuring
up to 1 cm in diameter, which bend backward. The fruit is spherical
and ripens to a deep red color. This plant typically blooms from
July to September. |
