my guess: physalis alkekengi, we call it lampionsblume http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lampionblume http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physalis_alkekengi
very decorative used a lot in x'mas decoration. Even the skeleton of the lampion is very decorative. I have some pictures, but can't find them (shame on me!). Will send, when i find the Fotos, or will make new ones. Regards Nalini ----- Original Message ----- From: J.M.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please. Some earlier relevant feedback: “Kindly refer: http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/1f74fa7100de2b15/8613d7429fcab437?lnk=gst&q=Physalis#8613d7429fcab437 The bluish anthers and angled stem refers to Physalis angulata L. species.” Muthu ji. “Thanks to Tanay ji and Muthu ji for making me study this species and the entire database on this species. It was quite an exercise. After going through the research papers (both) links given by Dr. Vijayasankar ji in earlier posts, I agree with Muthu ji's ID that my pics are indeed of Physalis angulata. Infact, right from the first pictures from 2008 posted of this species by Kiran ji, Satish Phadke ji, Suresh ji, Dr. Gurcharan ji, Dinesh ji all have bluish anthers of the flowers and the purple venation on fruits ! In the database we do not have ( correct me if I am wrong) any species with greenish-yellow anthers indicative of Physalis minima L. So all the species so far which have been ided as Physalis minima L. going by the paper, should be Physalis angulata. This is nothwithstanding the variations in the size of the petioles, leaf dentations and lenght the of pedicles. Now the confusion : Kew database treats Physalis minima L., Physalis angulata and Physalis lagascae as separate species. I am attaching one herbarium specimen of Physalis lagascae and one of Physalis minima L.. There are records for Physalis angulata but no herbarium specimen for download. As Dr. Gurcharan ji has mentioned in the earlier thread GRIN considers Physalis lagascae as syn. to Physalis minima L. Request feedback and a relook of the database. Thank you. regards, Rashida.” ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rashida Atthar <[email protected]> Date: 7 June 2010 09:09 Subject: [efloraofindia:37441] Physalis Minima is it?
