The width of my index and middle fingers put together is more than 3 cm, so is the width of my middle finger and ring finger!
Therefore fruiting calyx in the attached picture cannot be less than 3 cm in maturity. Moreover, the very same width of my fingers tells me that fruiting pedicel here is more than 1 cm long. The width of my ring finger is about 1.5 cm. So, the flower in the attached photographs here is also much bigger than the *P. lagascae*. All the above points indicate that it is not *Physalis lagascae* Roem. & Schult. Since corolla is not brown or purple spotted/blotched at base region and anthers are not blue-purple it is very unlikely to be *P. peruviana* L.
