Solanum citrullifolium is a species of flowering plant in the Solanaceae family.[1] It is a nightshade referred to by the common name watermelon nightshade,[2] as its leaves somewhat resemble those of a watermelon plant. It is a white-stemmed shrub with purple star-shaped flowers. It is native to the southern United States and it is grown in home gardens as an ornamental plant.
Not to be confused with the similarly-named "melonleaf nightshade," which is a different species, S. heterodoxum.
