Solanum maglia, Schlecht. Darwin Potato. Rough-hirsute branched perennial, with angled more or less winged sts. at least near the insertion of the lvs.: lvs. unequally pinnate, the terminal lft. 4 in. long, the lateral ones 2-3 pairs, elliptical, unequal at the base, acute at the apex, the interposed lfts. very small or sometimes wanting entirely: fls. in dichotomous clusters, the pedicels articulate about the middle; calyx hirsute, the lobes abruptly narrowed to a linear-acuminate point; corolla pure white, slightly lobed, the lobes acute. Infrequent along the Chilean coast from the vicinity of Valparaiso southward, and occasionally on the islands as far as the Chonos Archipelago. B.M. 6756.—Tubers gathered by the writer were about 4 in. long, dark purple, both in the skin and flesh. Apparently very difficult to hybridize with S. tuberosum. It was at one time considered by some to be the original of the potato. Darwin describes the plant in his "Naturalist's Voyage." CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
