Solanum viride, the green nightshade, garland berry, cannibal's tomato, poroporo or boro dina, is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae.[2] It is native to the Cook Islands, Fiji, Marquesas Islands, Niue, Pitcairn Islands, Samoan Islands, Society Islands, Tokelau and Manihiki, Tonga, Tuamotus, and Tubuai Islands in the South Pacific. It has been introduced to Hawaii.[1][3] In Fiji at the time of contact, human meat was cooked wrapped in its leaves, and a condiment for the meal was made from the fruit.[4]
