[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]
