Remarks
doi:10.3897/phytokeys.8.2462 'Umthuma' is an isiXhosa vernacular name for many species of prickly Solanum; in the Xhosa language the 'th' is pronounced as 't', so we have here written the epithet phonetically as 'umtuma'. The epithet is used here as a noun is apposition and thus not latinized to agree in gender.
