Schwenckia breviseta is a small subshrub in the nightshade family, native to seasonally dry open habitats in southeastern Brazil. Little cultivation information exists, so treat it as a wild-type plant rather than a common garden subject.
Schwenckia breviseta is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, native to southeastern Brazil, primarily the São Paulo region, where it grows as a subshrub in seasonally dry tropical biomes and is adapted to open, dry habitats.
It was first described by the Italian botanist Giovanni Casaretto and published in Novarum Stirpium Brasiliensium Decades in 1842.
