Solanum linearifolium and Solanum aviculare both have both divided and simple leaves. I'm calling this S. linearifolium because of the shape of the corolla (cf the more star-shaped corolla of S. aviculare). They're easiest to tell apart when in fruit: those of Solanum linearifolium are ochre-yellow and reddish purple at apex, while those of Solanum aviculare are orange-red to scarlet.
