Summary Hawkes, J. G.: A Chilean wild potato species and the publication of its name, Solanum maglia (Solanaceae). – Taxon 42: 671–673. 1993. – ISSN 0040‐0262. It has been claimed that the name was validly published by Molina in 1776. A survey of Molina's publications shows that, although he mentioned the vernacular name “maglia”, he did not use it as a species epithet under Solanum. Schlechtendal was the first, in 1841, to validly publish the name Solanum maglia.
