Description

Solanum morelliforme is a contender for the most unusual wild potato, as it is an epiphyte, typically growing on or near oak and pine trees. This is a widespread species in central Mexico and extends south into Honduras. Plants grow from about 3 to 18 inches tall. The berries are very small – about 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch in diameter and contain only 5 to 15 seeds, much less than most potato species.
