[2]Solanum chippendalei (common names - solanum, bush tomato, ngaru, Chippendale's tomato)[3] is a small fruiting shrub in the family Solanaceae, native to northern Australia.[4] It is named after its discoverer, George Chippendale.[1][5] The fruits, known as "bush tomatoes", are edible and are an important indigenous food,[6] and the aborigines who use them broadcast the seed for later harvesting.[7]
The species occurs in Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland.[8][3][9]
Distribution[edit]
In Queensland it is found in the IBRA region of Mount Isa Inlier.[3]
In the Northern Territory it is found in the IBRA regions of: Burt Plain, Central Ranges, Davenport Murchison Ranges, Gibson Desert, Great Sandy Desert, MacDonnell Ranges, Ord Victoria Plain, and Tanami.[3]
In Western Australia it is found in the IBRA regions of:Central Ranges, Gascoyne, Gibson Desert, Great Sandy Desert, Little Sandy Desert, Pilbara, and Tanami.[4]
Habitat[edit]
S. chippendalei is found on spinifex-dominated rocky or gravelly rises, hills or ranges composed of neutral or acidic rocks, on Mulga-dominated red earth plains and on sandplains, and often in recently burnt areas and disturbed areas.[3]
