Solanum luteoalbum
# Solanum luteoalbum

Solanum luteoalbum is a species of plant in the family Solanaceae.

Solanum semicoalitum as described by Bitter is an invalid name for this plant that is sometimes still seen. Altogether, the following synonyms are assigned to this species:

* Cyphomandra luteoalba (Pers.) A.Child
* Cyphomandra luteoalbum (Pers.) A.Child ex Bohs
* Solanum luteoalbum var. tunya J.F.Macbr.
* Solanum pubescens Ruiz & Pav. (non Willd.: preoccupied)

    S. pubescens Roxb. is a nomen nudum. S. pubescens B.Heyne ex Walp. is S. violaceum Ortega.

The puzzling S. semicoalitum was classified as Critically Endangered endemic of Ecuador by the IUCN, before it was synonymized with the more widespread S. luteoalbum.
