Cape gooseberry – Physalis peruviana (edulis)

Physalis peruviana is a branching perennial of Solanaceae with soft, hairy leaves. Yellow flowers have a brown centre; the orange berries develop inside a papery, lantern-shaped husk. The perennial base distinguishes it from annual Physalis pruinosa, although their common names can overlap. Cape gooseberry is the catalogue designation for this seed entry.
