Lycium Gilliesianum Var. Fuscum

Lycium gilliesianum var. fuscum is a lesser-known species of nightshade native to the arid regions of central and northern Chile. This plant is characterized by its small, dark berries and robust, woody stems that help it survive in harsh desert conditions. While not widely cultivated, it holds cultural and potential medicinal significance among local communities. Its unique adaptations make it an interesting subject for ecological and botanical study. Despite its rarity, it plays a vital role in supporting local wildlife and biodiversity.
