Total chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) from Solanum incanum, a wild relative of eggplant, was used to probe total DNA of Solanum melongena (eggplant) . The DNA fragments detected were the same. a s observed using purified chloroplast DNA . Chloroplast DNAs were also analysed for nine species of Solanum that are cross-compatible with eggplant : S . aethiopicum, S. anguivi, S. gilo, S. incanum, S . indicum, S . integrifolium, S. macrocarpon, S . olivare and S . panduriforme .Restriction fragments generated by eight enzymes were recorded as present or absent, and a matrix for all fragment positions, species and enzymes was used for cluster analysis . In the resulting dendrogram, the species tested formed three distinct groups : (1) S . aethiopicum, S . anguivi, S . gilo, S . indicum, S. integrifolium and S . olivare, (2) S. incanum, S . melongena and S . panduriforme, (3) S. macrocarpon . Six species of the first group belonging to section Oliganthes appears more closely related to the second group members belonging to section Melongena than does S . macrocarpon, which also belongs to section Melongena . Within the second group, S. panduriforme is slightly more like eggplant than is S . incanum .

The Morelloid clade, also known as the black nightshades or “Maurella” (Morella), is one of the 10 major clades within Solanum L. The pantropical clade consists of 75 currently recognised non-spiny herbaceous and suffrutescent species with simple or branched hairs with or without glandular tips, with a centre of distribution in the tropical Andes. A secondary centre of diversity is found in Africa, where a set of mainly polyploid taxa occur. A yet smaller set of species is found in Australasia and Europe, including Solanum nigrum L., the type of the genus Solanum. Due to the large number of published synonyms, combined with complex morphological variation, our understanding of species limits and diversity in the Morelloid clade has remained poor despite detailed morphological studies carried out in conjunction with breeding experiments. Here we provide the first taxonomic overview since the 19th century of the entire group in the Old World, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and islands of the Pacific. Complete synonymy, morphological descriptions, distribution maps and common names and uses are provided for all 19 species occurring outside the Americas (i.e. Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and islands of the Pacific). We treat 12 species native to the Old World, as well as 7 taxa that are putatively introduced and/or invasive in the region. The current knowledge of the origin of the polyploid species is summarised. A key to all of the species occurring in the Old World is provided, together with line drawings and colour figures to aid identification both in herbaria and in the field. Preliminary conservation assessments are provided for all species.

“…Danert (1970) also suggested a close relationship between sections Dulcamara , Jasminosolanum and Aculeigerum (equivalent in part to the Wendlandii/Allophyllum clade of Bohs 2005) and members of the ANS clade based on a shared vining habit. D’Arcy (1972) included all of the African vining species in subgenus Solanum as Bitter’s original sections (sensu Seithe 1962). Bitter’s (1917) sectional delimitations have been followed in recent floristic works (e.g., D’Arcy and Rakotozafy 1994; Edmonds 2012; see Table 1).…”

The (ANS)African Non-Spiny clade contains 14 species of mostly large canopy lianas or scandent shrubs confined to Madagascar (10) and continental Africa (4, with with one species reaching the southern Arabian peninsula). Members of the clade were previously classified in sections Afrosolanum Bitter, Benderianum Bitter, Lemurisolanum Bitter, Macronesiotes Bitter and Quadrangulare Bitter, and were throught to be related to a variety of New World groups. The group is an early-branching lineage of non-spiny solanums and characters shared with other vining New World solanums are homoplastic. The 14 species of the group occupy a wide range of habitats, from wet forests in western Africa to savanna and dry forests of southern Madagascar and dune habitats in South Africa. Many members of the group are highly variable morphologically, and habit can vary between shrub and canopy vine in a single locality. We here review the taxonomic history, morphology, potential relationships and ecology of these species; we provide keys for their identification, descriptions, full synonymy (including designations of lectotypes and neotypes) and nomenclatural notes. Illustrations, distribution maps and preliminary conservation assessments are provided for all species.
