Acnistus is a monotypic genus in the plant family Solanaceae, the nightshade family : the only species currently recognised is Acnistus arborescens - common names ( inter alia ) Hollowheart, Fruta de sabiá.[3][4] This species has recently been transferred to Iochroma [5].

  • Acnistus cauliflorus is a synonym of Acnistus arborescens
  • Acnistus lorentzii is an unresolved name, but some data suggest that it is synonymous with Eriolarynx lorentzii (Dammer) Hunz.
  • Acnistus parviflorus is a synonym of Acnistus arborescens
