American Nightshade (Solanum americanum)

2/27/2012
So... I happened upon something incredibly interesting... Remember that red berried plant a few posts back, that I could not identify? http://procezzed.blogspot.com/2012/02/red-berries.html .. Yeah THAT. well... I found another one. However... this one had BLACK berries. same leaves, same size, same EVERYTHING... except for berries. How CURIOUS.

I think I've finally solved it. After finally searching based on the FLOWER and not the berry, I found a blog that featured a post on the 'American Nightshade'. Scientifically 'Solanum americanum'. Now I just have to figure out the details of the red berried plant I found before. It MUST be related because the two are so similar.
