Devil’s Whiskers

Solanum mitchellianum
Family: SOLANACEAE
These plants were looking their gloriously prickly best for us last weekend on Kingsthorpe Hill. I do love them!
(For further comments see last April’s article.)

  1. These plants are well named. They are lethal when the die. Stand or lie innocently waiting for you to pick them up. Owwwwwie Plant No 1.
    Have them by the ton here in St Agnes Qld.

  2. Yes, you wouldn't want to touch, them, would you? But they do have a cactus-like appeal!
