Overview
Glossy nightshade is a wild growing, low branching tropical annual shrub, 3 - 4 feet tall.

The West Indian nightshade (Solanum ptycanthum) is very similar but mostly hairless and can have leaves with purple undersides.
The stem of this plant is green and hollow.
The egg-shaped, dark green alternate leaves with toothed margin are cooked and eaten as vegetables.
Directly on the stem or between the leaves are the tiny, white flowers with yellow stamens on stalks.
The tropical berries are green when young, shiny purplish-black when ripe and are 1/8 inch in diameter.
