Can anyone identify this plant?
I thought I was growing "Mucho Nacho", however, they don't look like any pepper I've ever had.
I got that too when I planted what was supposed to be chiltepin seeds.
I think it is soloanum nigrum or solanum americanum. They are in the solanaceae family with a common name of black nightshade. In Hawaii they are called popolo because when they mature the berries are inky black. The difference between the two varieities are in the leaves. Both of them can be weedy because the birds will eat the berries and spread them. Popolo does have medicinal properties and can be used as a dye.
I have grown mucho nacho and the leaves don't look like that.
