Solanum quadriloculatum

Solanum quadriloculatum is known under the (ambiguous) common names of "bush tomato" or (in Australia) "wild tomato". It is a small fruiting shrub in the family Solanaceae. It was, and occasionally still is, included in S. ellipticum by some authors. Generally, these two species of "bush tomatoes" are currently considered distinct.[1]
