1. Physalis lobata Torr., Ann. Lye. N. Y. 2: 226. 1828. 



Quincula lobata Raf., Atlant. Jour. 145. 1832. 



Navajo, Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima Counties (probably elsewhere), 

 1,200 to 5,000 feet, plains and mesas, often at roadsides, March, to 

 October. Kansas to Texas, Arizona, and northern Mexico. 



2. Physalis wrightii A. Gray, Amer. Acad. Arts and Sci. Proc. 10: 63. 



1874. 



Navajo County to Cochise, Pima, and Yuma Counties, 100 to 

 4,000 feet, fields, along ditches, etc., June to September. Western 

 Texas to southern California and northern Mexico. 



A common weed in irrigated fields in southern Arizona. It is sus- 

 pected that Arizona specimens which have been referred to P. lancei- 

 folia Nees (see footnote 36, p. 790, Rydberg, p. 332) are in reality P. 

 wrightii with small, late-season flowers. They resemble that species 

 in all other characters. Some specimens of P. wrightii have both large 

 and flat corollas and much smaller, more campanulate ones. 



3. Physalis fendleri A. Grav, Amer. Acad. Arts and Sci. Proc. 10: 



66. 1874. 

 Apache County to Mohave County, south to Cochise, Santa Cruz, 

 and Pima Counties, 3,200 to 7,500 feet, dry mesas and slopes, often on 

 limestone and associated with juniper and pinyon, May to August. 

 Colorado and Utah to Arizona, southeastern California, and northern 

 Mexico. 



4. Physalis lanceolata Michx., Fl. Bor. Amer. 1: 149. 1803. 

 White Mountains (Apache or Greenlee County) and mountains of 



Cochise and Pima Counties, 5,000 to 8,500 feet, August. Illinois to 

 South Dakota, Arkansas, and eastern Arizona. 



5. Physalis pubescens L., Sp. PL 183. 1753. 



Santa Cruz and Pima Counties, 3,000 to 4,000 feet, mostly along 

 streams in partial shade, August and September. Pennsylvania to 

 Colorado, Florida, and Arizona, southward to Panama. 



The Arizona form, with a relatively tall, stout, erect stem not 

 branching from the base, probably is P. neomexicana Rydb., but is 

 scarcely more than varietally distinct from P. pubescens. 



6. Physalis heterophylla Nees, Linnaea 6: 463. 1831. 



Navajo and Coconino Counties to Pima County, 4,000 to 7,000 feet, 

 June to October. Canada to Florida and Arizona. 



7. Physalis hederaefolia A. Gray, Amer. Acad. Arts and Sci. Proc. 10: 



65. 1874. 



Coconino and Mohave Counties to Cochise and Pima Counties, 

 3,000 to 5,000 feet, foothills and plains, April to July. Colorado 

 and Utah to Texas, Arizona, southeastern California, and northern 

 Mexico. 



Plant with the aspect of P. fendleri, but very different in character 

 of the pubescence.
