Very widely spread. 
In addition to the specimens included under the foregoing 
names, there is a specimen in the Kew Herbarium from the 
Luchu Archipelago named Physalis pubescens, Linn., an American 
species ; and there is, further, a flowering specimen of what may 
belong to this genus from near Moukden, Shingking. 
J?) 1. Chamesaracha? heterophylla, Hemsl., n. sp. 
Herba erecta, sesquipedalis, parcissime puberula, furcato- 
ramosa, ramulis angulatis. Folia alterna (interdum suppres- 
sione internodorum ad apices ramulorum binata vel ternata 
simul valde inequalia), petiolata, membranacea, ovato-lanceolata, 
basi sepius plus minusve obliqua, subacuta, 1-6 poll. longa, 
utrinque parce puberula, venis primariis utrinque circiter 5 in- 
conspicuis. Flores axillares, solitarii, breviter pedunculati; 
calyx florifer furfurascens, 4-5 lineas longus, 5-lobatus, lobis 
erectis subobtusis ; calyx fructifer valde accrescens, baccam arcte 
omninoque vestiens, 6-7 lineas diametro. Bacca polysperma; 
semina pallida, discoidea, rugulosa. i

Very near C. japonica, Franch. et Savat., differing in being 
wholly glabrous, more slender in habit, and in the berries being 
entirely enclosed in the calyx. 
Chamesaracha should, perhaps, be treated as a section of 
Physalis. 
(3^ 2. Chamesaracha sinensis, Hemsl., n. sp. 
Herba tota glaberrima, ramulis gracilibus teretibus straminels. 
Folia membranacea, longissime petiolata, ovato-lanceolata, acuta, 
cum petiolo gracili usque ad 5 poll. longa, integra. Flores 
Leuan Bacce 2-3 aggregatæ, axillares, graciliter pedunculate, 
globose, circiter 6 lineas diametro, calycibus membranaceis fere 
scariosis omnino incluse; semina pallida, discoidea, obscure 
reticulata.
