The persistent pubescence consists of sessile or short-stalked, simple or star-shaped trichomes. Solanum abutiloides is common along the Cordillera Central in Bolivia and on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Argentina. It grows there in thickets, rocky or sandy riverbanks, and open disturbed areas. Mostly it is found at higher altitudes between 900 and 3600 m.
