Description: Solanum cheesmaniae Kew herbarium sheet prepared by Charles Darwin Chatham Island Galapagos Sept 1835 during the voyage of HMS Beagle. The presence of the Kew barcode indicates that the sheet has been digitised. The note in Darwin's handwriting "Solanum?" indicates that he correctly but tentatively identified the genus. The sheet is date-stamped Kew Herbarium 1867; the modern species name was determined in 2002 by Iris Peralta, Sarah Darwin and Sandra Kemp.
