The Paris Herbarium (P) contains many important but neglected specimens, collected from Abyssinia (now Eritrea and Ethiopia) by Quartin-Dillon and Petit, as well as by Schimper, and first described as new species by Achille Richard. A brief account is presented here of the circumstances of the collection, description and publication of these. Definitive typification and nomenclatural details are provided for twelve names of AbyssinianSolanumspecies described by A. Richard in 1850 in Paris, and of five other African species described by Dunal (1852) and of two others. These areS. adoenseHochst. ex A. Rich.,S. bifurcatumHochst. ex A. Rich.
