Exodeconus miersii

Exodeconus miersii is a species of flowering plant in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. Its botanical name refers to the English botanist John Miers (1789 - 1879), who studied flora in South America. This flower is endemic to the Galapagos Islands, and is thus often called by the common name Galapagos Shore Petunia. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) considers it to be among plant species of least concern. This plant has five further synonyms: Cacabus miersii (Hook.f.)
