Solanaceae Week: Physalis grisea from Tikkar Tal Lake Morni: 4 correct images. Physalis grisea (Waterf.) M. Martínez, Taxon 42:104. 1993 One more addition to the Solanaceae week. Plant similar and often confused with P. peruviana like which it has brown spots at the base of corolla and plant is densely villous, but diifers in its small, annual habit, smaller flowers (9-10 mm across), smaller fruiting calyx abruptly acuminate at apex, covered with long simple and glandular hairs and bluish anthers. Photographed on April 10 from Tikkar Tal Lake in Morni, Haryana.. Common names: dwarf Cape-gooseberry, hairy ground-cherry, strawberry-tomato After careful scrutiny it appears that my image number 1 and 5 belong to P. pruinosa 2,3,4 and 6 belong to P. grisea Unfortunately I do not have open flowers of P. pruinosa for conclusive distinction. Please note colour of leaves and fruiting calyx shape.

Solanaceae Fortnight:: Physalis grisea for validation from Musoorie-NS Feb 34/34 : 4 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2) This small herb was recorded from near Mussoorie, was not having fruits at that time, and I even didn't bother to take more pictures.. Please suggest if this can be Physalis grisea or otherwise.. I think yes (i) corolla 15-25 mm across; anthers 3-4 mm long; leaves rounded to cordate at base, acuminate at apex, usually coarsely and evenly toothed = peruviana L. (ii) corolla 7-10 mm across; anthers 1-2 mm long, anthers yellowish; leaves very oblique at base; plant odourless = grisea (Waterf.) M. Martínez; syn. pubescens var. grisea (iii) corolla 9-15 mm across; anthers 1-2 mm long, anthers bluish; leaves slightlyv or not oblique at base; plant strongly odorous = pubescens L.
