About Physalis grisea (Waterf.) M.Martínez
Physalis grisea has frequently been incorrectly identified and described as Physalis pruinosa, and it has also been confused with the species Physalis pubescens. Its leaves are simple, arranged alternately along stems, have toothed leaf margins, show a net-like venation pattern, and turn orange when dried. This species has five fused petals in each flower; the corolla has brown spots on its throat, anthers are blue, the fruiting calyx is as long as it is broad, and it tapers to an acute apex. The fruit of Physalis grisea is rust-colored. Physalis grisea is cultivated for its berries, which are used to make pies and preserves.
