Solanum nigrum L. is a common ruderal growing in a variety of habitats. Two populations of S.nigrum viz. Purple Black fruited and Orange Red fruited growing in a field of Patna have been indentified. Seed germination behaviour of the two populations has been investigated. Variation between the two populations has been observed. Fresh seeds of Orange Red fruited population of S.nigrum show dormancy. Their dormancy has been investigated by Bano and Ahmad(2007). They germinate naturally after 14 months storage.
