Also called the silverleaf nightshade, or bitter apple. Every part of the plant, including the fruit, is poisonous. It is resistant to drought and salty soil, oblivious to pesticides, thrives in disturbed soil, and cannot be eliminated by plowing. Native to the Southwest USA, it has now invaded South America, Africa, Australia, and some parts of Europe.

If you see it in Hawaii, notify the USDA immediately.
