Name That Plant!
sowmya_k76

Is this purple flower potato bush (Solanum rantonnetii)?

It produces yellowish berries similar to gooseberries, I dont think they are edible though.

Any info on edible usage? I dont see this on pfaf.

    The berries of Solanum/Lycianthus rantonettii are usually described as reddish/orange. Are you sure you are not describing semiripe fruit? Other than that it certainly appears to be that species. And no, it is not edible. All parts are poisonous.
