Neotypes are designated for six names coined by Casimiro Gómez Ortega that were described as members of the large genus Solanum (Solanaceae), Solanum crassifolium, S. cymosum, S. ficifolium, S. leprosum, S. subbiflorum, and S. violaceum. A brief introduction describes the role of Gómez Ortega the botany of his time, and identifies difficulties in typifying names published by him. The currently accepted name for each taxon is given. Each typification is accompanied by a discussion of the reasoning behind the choice of specimen, and all neotypes are illustrated except that of S. crassifolium, which has been illustrated earlier.
