Solanum lobulatum O.E. Schulz in Urb., Symb. Ant. 6: 247. 1909

Type: St. Vincent and the Grenadines. St. Vincent: Morne Garou, 960 m., H.H. Smith & G.W. Smith 1575 (lectotype, K [K000196493] , designated here).

Distribution. Only known from montane areas on the island of St. Vincent, at approximately 1000 m elevation.

Representative specimen. St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Vincent, Howard & al. 17711 (BM, NY).

Schulz did not cite a herbarium when describing Solanum lobulatum, and no sheet of Smith & Smith 1575 is extant at B. The K duplicate of this collection is here designated the lectotype (Fig. 6d) as no other duplicates have been found, but are likely to exist. Solanum lobulatum was described from sterile material, Schulz (1909) stated that the specimen he examined was annotated “we have only seen one root”; from the morphology of the specimen at K it is clear that this is a juvenile individual with a single stem.
