Species of flowering plant
Solanum lycocarpum, or wolf apple, is a species of nightshade, common in the Brazilian Cerrado ecoregion. In Portuguese, the plant is called lobeira (lit. 'wolf's plant') or fruta-do-lobo ('wolf's fruit'). The name "wolf's apple" comes from the fact that its fruit accounts for more than 50% of maned wolves' diet. Likewise, the scientific name "lycocarpum" is formed from Latinized Greek elements "lyco-", meaning "wolf", and "carpum" meaning "fruit".
