Physalis, Ground Cherry. 

 I have had six forms (species?) not in- 



cluding P. Philadelphica, which I know, 

 growing in my garden the past year, all but 

 the first spontaneous. Of the first two I 

 have often seen the seed-leaves ; the last 

 four I have traced to old roots. None of 

 them have "anthers purple," but the four 

 that have "corolla spotted" have the fleshy 

 filaments violet or purple. All but the P. 

 lanceolata grow as they please, not regard- 

 ing the descriptions in the books. I guess 

 at four. The last seems not in the books. 

 I give only some points, not full descriptions. 



P. viscosa (?) Annual; not viscid ; brown- 

 ish green ; pedicels half inch ; corolla four 

 lines broad ; fruit calyx roundish, five- 

 angled ; fruit eatable. 



P. nyctagioea (?) Annual; clammy; 

 odorous, .strong as the tomato; light green ; 

 leaves one to two inches long ; pedicels half 

 inch; corolla not spotted, three lines broad : 

 fruit calyx roundish, ten-angled. 



P. Pennsylvanica (?) Perennial; glabrous, 

 erect, two feet high, branching above, simu- 

 lating a walnut tree ; leaves single ; pedicels 

 one inch ; corolla spotted, eight or ten lines; 

 fruit calyx truncate at base, cylindric-conic, 

 or with ten or twenty angles. 



P. lanceolata. Perennial , eight inches 

 high, decumbent, bush-like ; leaves in pairs; 

 corolla spotted, ten lines; fruit calyx like a 

 junk-bottle. 



P. pubescens (?) Perennial; low, broad, 

 very pubescent; pedicels long, oval, pointed. 

 ■■■P. • -. Perennial; low, bushy, decum- 

 bent; leaves rhombic-oval, entire; pedicels 

 nearly two inches : corolla not spotted; fruit
