Solanum sodiroi is a species of plant in the family Solanaceae. It is possibly endemic to Ecuador.
The specific epithet of sodiroi refers to Luis Sodiro (1836–1909), who was an Italian Jesuit priest and a field botanist, who collected many plants in Ecuador.[1]
S. carchiense as described by Correll is an invalid name for this plant that is sometimes still seen. Altogether, the following synonyms are assigned to this species:[2]
- Solanum carchiense Correll
- Solanum sodiroi var. dimorphophyllum (Bitter) Correll
- Solanum sodiroi ssp. dimorphophyllum Bitter
- Solanum tetrapetalum Rusby
The mysterious S. carchiense was classified as Endangered by the IUCN before it was synonymized with the more widespread S. sodiroi.[3]
