Identification: Leaf with spines / thorns

Hi everyone,

just saw this plant today:

I was labelled Solanum capsicastrum, that cant be right???

Anyone know the real name?

Looks like Solanum quitoense. See.....

Wow! Is that one interesting plant! What Mother Nature won't do to keep the critters away.....

 

Solanum quitoense... Hmm I agree!

I didnt think that it was solanum at all! But then again, the leaves do resemble tomato-leaves!

Anyone knows if it makes a good indoor plant for more than a few months?

Thank you, Luddite!

Got to own this plant!

 

Not a plant I'd want!

 

why?

 

I'd not want to get stabbed!

But in its favour, it does have edible fruit.
