Re: unknown species of Solanum


The Wordsworth Guide to Poisons and Antidotes by Carol Turkington says  there are 1700 species of Solanum, most of which have not been evaluated toxicologically.  Solinum carolinense is stated to cause a gastrointestinal poisoning which is rarely fatal in adults.  I wouldn't garnish Halloween dishes with  those cute little pumpkins just to be on the safe side!
