Solanum? - Looked different from Solanum nigrum. Different leaf shape and bigger fruits and flowers. Unsure of what type of nightshade.

This one isn't S. chenopodioides which has very similar fruit structure to S. nigrum (very different to this) - Might be S. pseudocapsicum, though not 100% convinced yet. @Tapirlord your thoughts here?

Yes it is S.psedocaspsicum, my mistake. Luke, there is no need to tag me in sightings for which I would ordinarily get alerts for. But perhaps I need to do this for you, as you don't seem to be responding to my comments.

Yeah sorry, I have seen them. Just been very busy lately so haven't had much time to reply. Probably why some of my ID's may have been in a bit of a rush as well, so sorry for that, thanks for double checking me. Hopefully we might be able to catch up in person and can discuss more soon (I think the Blue Gum Hill walk coming up should be good).

Thanks Luke, that is all good. It is just good to know it isn’t going ignored, for my own piece of mind more than anything. I am looking forward to Blue Gum Hill as well, it should be a good day!
