This is a vining, sometimes shrub-like, plant that produces highly variable leaf shapes ranging from lanceolate to ovate. The delicate leaves are very small and can be either 3 or 5 lobed. The bottom leaves are are larges and are deeply cut with the center lobe being the largest. Leaves in the middle are long and narrow and those near the flowers are small and narrow. The 3/8" wide flower has 5 petals and is white; however, it can have a lavender blush. The golden yellow anthers touch which distinguishes it from other Solanum species. It produces 1/4 inch wide, tomato-like, succulent, red berries on its older stems. It can be found growing in canyons and woodlands, on alluvial terraces and mesic limestone slopes and sometimes in fenceline thickets.
