• Type: "Queensland. BURKE DISTRICT: Settlement Creek, November 1922, L.J.Brass 244 (holo: BRI)."

• Text: "White (1942) cited two collections in the protologue, without any indication of a type. However, on the Brass 244 sheet, he has written "Solanum pugiunculiferum C.T.White", Type". Hence the choice of a lectotype is unnecessary."
