Solanum pseudo-capsicum L. Sp. Pl. 1: 184. 1753

Type: Lectotype - Herb. Linn. No. 248.4 (LINN)

I will prefer to write pseudo-capsicum because in Species Plantarum
Linnaeus writes it as " PseudoCapsicum" at the same time, he write
similarly on the herbarium sheet - Pseudo-Capsicum 3 HU [Horto
Upsaliensis]. If you notice, its on the lower side. This is what
Linnean Society of London follows, hence we should also follow the
same .

Regards
Pankaj
