Solanum stelligerum
Solanum stelligerum, the star nightshade or devil's needles, is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, native to eastern Australia. A woody shrub reaching 2 m (7 ft), it is typically found growing on sand dunes, in open Eucalyptus woodlands, and on forest edges. The small red fruit are eaten by Aboriginal Australians, but it is recommended to only consume low quantities.
