Type: Haiti. Dept. Artibonite, 8 mi NE of Gonaives, Ennery Road, 19 Feb 1926, E. Leonard 10007 (holotype, US [US-1301034, barcode US00588712] ; isotype, GH [GH0077550]).

The type specimen of Solanum squarrosum was cited as Schomburgk 51 and was at B, but is no longer extant. A rather scrappy duplicate of Schomburgk 51 at Leiden (L0403808, Fig. 3d) is labelled “typus” in Schulz’s hand and is here selected as the lectotype.
