Silverleaf Nightshade is also known as Argentine Nightshade, Sutton's Nightshade or Watermelon Nightshade. Its scientific name is Solanum elaeagnifolium. This plant species can be considered as a weed in many regions, including North America, due to its invasive nature. In addition to the names mentioned above, this plant also has other informal names such as silver nightshade, white horse nettle, and trompillo. The silver color of its leaves is the most distinctive feature of this plant hence its name "silverleaf". Despite its invasiveness, the plant has several medicinal properties and is used in traditional medicine practices for the treatment of various conditions such as inflammation, sore throat, and arthritis.
