Sinonim

S. muricatum is known by some now-invalid synonyms. Most of these names have only been applied to this characteristic plant, but one is quite ambiguous:

• Solanum guatemalense Hort.
• Solanum hebephorum Dunal
• Solanum longifolium Sessé & Moc. (non Dunal: preoccupied)

The S. longifolium of Dunal refers to S. subinerme, while S. longifolium of Pavón Jiménez based on Dunal in de Candolle is S. ensifolium.

• Solanum melaniferum Moric. ex Dunal
• Solanum pedunculatum Roem. & Schult.
• Solanum saccianum Naudin (non Carrière & André: preoccupied)
• Solanum saccianum Carrière & André
• Solanum scabrum Lam. (non Mill.: preoccupied)

The S. scabrum of Kunth and of Zuccagni are actually S. aethiopicum. The one described by Vahl is S. volubile as described by Swartz. And the S. scabrum of Ruiz & Pavón Jiménez is actually S. saponaceum of Dunal.

• Solanum variegatum Ruiz & Pav.
• Solanum wallisii Carrière

In addition, several presumed varieties and forms of pepino dulce were described, but these are mainly individual or agricultural variants not considered taxonomically distinct today:

• Solanum muricatum var. dissectum Dunal

Not to be confused with S. dissectum as described by Symon.

• Solanum muricatum f. glaberrimum Correll

Not to be confused with S. glaberrimum as described by C.V. Morton.

• Solanum muricatum var. papillosistylum Bitter
• Solanum muricatum var. parvifolium Kunth

Not to be confused with S. parvifolium as described by Robert Brown

• Solanum muricatum var. popayanum Bitter
• Solanum muricatum var. praecedens Bitter
• Solanum muricatum var. protogenum Bitter
• Solanum muricatum var. teleutogenum Bitter
