Solanum chippendalei is a small fruiting shrub in the family Solanaceae, native to northern Australia. It is named after the botanist who described it, George Chippendale. The fruits, known as "bush tomatoes", are edible and are an important indigenous food, and the Aboriginal people who use them broadcast the seed for later harvesting.
