*Solanum evolvulifolium* is a small vining or scandent shrub in the Solanaceae family, native to Central and South America. It’s characterized by its thin, twining stems and small, elliptic to lanceolate leaves with a soft, slightly velvety surface. This species often climbs through surrounding vegetation using its flexible branches rather than tendrils or hooks. The foliage is typically bright to medium green, and the plant produces small star-shaped flowers followed by small berries typical of the *Solanum* genus.
