About
Clammy Ground Cherry and Smooth Ground Cherry (inset)
This is one of my favorite wild fruits to pick and eat as I find them. The taste of the ripe berry is sweet and distinctive. The berries are ripe when the husk turns brown and the berry inside takes on a yellowish cast. (See the cautions below)
Medical Uses: The plant has been used as a diuretic for various urinary problems. There seems to be no scientific data to support this. Its use for bladder problems may go back to the doctrine of signatures . Physalis is the Greek word for bladder.
Warning:All nightshades must be considered somewhat dangerous. All parts of this plant except the ripe fruits may be toxic. It is possible that even the berries of some non native Physalis species may be toxic. Eating a large number of the ripe berries may cause diarrhea.

Similar Species: There are over a dozen species of Physalis these include:
Clammy Ground Cherry (P. heterophylla) which is the most common and has toothed, ovate leaves and is hairy.
Smooth Ground Cherry (P. subglabrata) which has narrower less toothed leaves and is almost hairless.
Virginia Ground Cherry (P. virginiana) Which is similar to Smooth Ground Cherry except hairy.
Chinese Lantern (P. alkekengi) (also known as Cape Gooseberry and Winter Cherry) is a native of eastern Europe and Asia and is often grown in flower gardens. It has white flowers and the berry and the calyx surrounding it turn red.
This is maby more than anyone wanted to know, but here you have it.

Wow - excellent shot, Alison! The bright orange-red of the chinese lantern shows up so nicely against the white of the bowl, and I love those cool light refractions dancing through its shadow on the bottom!

Thank you, dear Alison, for a very educative lesson. As an MD, it was particularly interesting for me and then there is the association about eating (non-toxic) forest berries, both as a very young child in Norway and as a student in Switzerland. On one of my vacations I brought my parents, flying from Switzerland to Israel, berries they had not eaten (or seen) for many years.
Thank you for your very kind comments on my "Black beauty", "Aphrodite" and "Shoppping."
Best regards,
Rafi

What a wonderful image, Alison! The thumb caught my eye immediately. I really like the shadow in the water and the bright red of the Physalis.
I used to grow them in my garden (the P. alkekengi).
Thanks for all the interesting information!
Best regards,
Marion
