European Black Nightshade

European Black Nightshade or [solanum nigrum complex] family Solanaceae.

It would appear that I have some black nightshade growing in the garden around one of the bird feeding stations this year.

Black nightshade is a perennial shrub, growing to a height of between 30cm to 120cm, and is characterized by its lack of prickles and stellate hairs. The white flowers and green or black fruits are arranged in an umbelliform fashion, and its leaves are ovate to heart-shaped, with wavy edges.
