Solanum karsense, the Menindee nightshade, is a member of the family Solanaceae, and is listed as a vulnerable species under both the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act and the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.
Solanum karsense is found in far south-western New South Wales, Australia. The species' range is known to extend as far south as Balranald along the Murray River, and as far north as Manindee, as far west as the South Australian border, and its eastern most sighting is nearby the Lachlan Valley State Conservation Area. Kinchega National Park is the only conservation reserve in which the species is protected.
