Anahtar Sözcükler: Solanum elaeagnifolium, Solanaceae, Türkiye, yeni kay›t Introduction Solanum L., with approximately 1400 species, is the largest and most diverse genus in the Solanaceae. It consists of 7 subgenera (D’Arcy, 1972). The subgenus Leptostemonum (Dunal) Bitter comprises almost onethird of the genus, with ca. 450 cosmopolitan species. Members of this group are defined by their sharp prickles, namely the spiny solanums. (Chiarini, 2004; Levin et al., 2005). During floristic investigations, the first author collected some interesting Solanum specimens from Gavurgölü marsh (Kahramanmarafl, Turkey). Among them was a specimen that could not be identified using the account in the Flora of Turkey (Baytop, 1978; Byfield, 2000; Özhatay & Kültür, 2006). Eventually, using the generic account in the Flora Iranica (Schönbeck, 1972), and Flora Europaea (Hawkes & Edmonds 1972), the specimens were identified as Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. (Figure 1). It was previously recorded from the island of Lesvos (Baytop, 1978). Solanum elaeagnifolium Cav. Icon. Descr. 3:22, tab. 243 (1795). Icon.: Wild flowers Unit. St. .
