Solanum vescum

Solanum vescum (binomen anno 1855 a Ferdinando de Mueller statutum)Mueller, F.J.H. von, Definitions of rare or hitherto undescribed Australian plants (1855) p. 19 est species generis Solani, in Australia meridio-orientali sponte gignens, quae fructus edules producit. Arbustum ad altitudinem duorum fere metrorum crescens post incendia duos vel tres annos feracissime viret, qua ratione indigenae Gunai regionem Gippsland colentes terras idoneas ad messes horum fructuum incitandas quinto quoque anno accendebant.Gott (2005) p. 1206

Nomen Anglicum huius specie gunyang e lingua Gunai deducitur. Fructus primum anno 1855 in opere geographico J. Bonwick descriptus est: "Fructus gunyang thiniorum Gippslandensium saporem magnitudinemque habet Actinidiae deliciosae, frutice generis solani altitudine 6 pedibus proveniens."The gunyang fruit of the Gipps Land sand ridges is of the taste and size of a Cape gooseberry, on a sort of night-shade shrub 6 feet high. J. Bonwick, Geography of Australia and New Zealand (ed. 3a, 1855) p. 204; Joan Hughes, ed., Australian Words and their Origins (Melburniae: Oxford University Press, 1989) s.v. "gunyang" Ferdinandus Mueller botanista eodem fere anno "bacam" descripsit "magnam, viridem, fere globosam ... plena maturitate attincta carnosam."Berries large, green, nearly globose ... Berries when perfectly ripe pulpy. Mueller (1856) pp. 165-166
