Schwenckia trujilloi is a multi-stemmed shrub in the nightshade family, known only from the Amazonas region of Venezuela in shrubby savannas on well-drained soils. It is a wild species with no established horticultural care, so the care fields below are largely unknown.
Schwenckia trujilloi is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae. It grows primarily in wet tropical biomes, particularly in shrubby savannas on well-drained soils. The species is native to the Amazonas region of Venezuela. It was discovered during a botanical research expedition on 27 February 1986, when the Venezuelan botanist Carmen Emilia Benítez de Rojas collected specimens and identified two new species of the genus, this species and S. huberi.
