Solanum incanum is a species of nightshade, a flowering plant in the family Solanaceae.

The species was introduced to Taiwan and Vietnam.

[3] Common names include thorn apple, bitter apple,[1] bitterball[4] and bitter tomato[5][6] It may be confused with the similar S. linnaeanum where their ranges overlap in Africa.

[7][8][9] In biblical literature, it is sometimes referred to as a "hedge of thorns" (Hebrew: מְשֻׂכַת חָדֶק).
