the aboriginal word for the Kangaroo Apple (q.v.), though the name is morestrictly applied not to Solanum aviculare, but to S. vescum.
1877. F. von Muller, `Botanic Teachings,' p. 106:
«The similarity of both [ S. vescum and S.aviculare] to each other forbids to recommendthe fruit of the Gunyang as edible.»
1878. W. R. Guilfoyle, `Australian Botany,' p. 73:
«Kangaroo Apple, Solanum aviculare. . . . The Gunyang( Solanum vescum) is another variety found in Victoria.»
1888. D. Macdonald, `Gum Boughs,' p. 222:
«A couple of tiny streams trickle across the plains to the sea,a dwarfed ti-tree, clinging low about the ground, like thegunyang or kangaroo apple, borders the banks.»
