Solanum habrochaites (syn. Lycopersicon hirsutum), the hairy tomato, is a species of flowering plant in the family Solanaceae, native to Ecuador and Peru.[1][2] It is considered to be one of the most important sources of genetic variation for crop improvement of the cultivated tomato, Solanum lycopersicum.[3]
