Please validate the ID.

This could be Physalis minima (Little gooseberry).
(Page 84 of “Common Indian Wild Flowers by Shri Issac Kehimkar).


this plant is discovered by Mr and Mrs. Almeida. its diagosintic feature is the leaf with dentate margin, deeply U-shaped indentation, with short pointed serration.
this was collected from SGNP, Borivali.

Thank you very much for validating the ID, … The leaves, I find are strikingly beautiful.

the epithet joe-diasii is named for which personality ? any idea ?


…, can u send me this plant or leave tissue. Please send me more information about this plant.


, that sighting was long way back in 2008; after which I have never met this plant any where else. The earlier site, which was an untended place near a temple, has now a concrete floor. If I come across this plant, will keep you posted.

But the name is unresolved yet, I guess.

I would like to believe the plant is P. joe-diasii !!


A word of caution. All the name changes, combinations, new names etc. published  by these authors in Family Euphorbiaceae sensu lato have been found to be illegitimate or superfluous. I am making this statement on the basis of evidences available with me.

Please refer to earlier discussion on this genus. The plants referred to P. minima may belong to P. angulata or P. lagascae (or even P. pruinose). This one should be Physalis angulata. Kindly refer to the useful paper:

I hope Physalis angulata
http://file.lw23.com/0a1-aeca-5fdaa7323b45.pdf


from the internet descriptions of these two I am a bit confused
what really is the diagnostic difference?
the berries of both look similar
and the covering balloon are both ribbed and angled
acuta seems a bit more acute angled than the minima
is that the difference?
I could not open the link pdf…claims something is missing
do you have a copy on your computer may be that would help.


Thank You Sir Ji. But I am a bit confused. When you identified my specimen as Physalis angulata, then I again moved to the collection site today and collected the attached images of specimen (Physalis angulata – 1 and Physalis angulata -2) where there is a difference in leaf morphology (onoes margin is dentate where othere is not). Both the specimen are collected from the same locality. And also I have dissected the flowers of both specimen and found little difference. On the other hand in “The Plant list” Physalis minima is a synonym of P. angulata. (P. angulata var. angulata). But in “Flora of China” the Physalis minima and p. angulata are described as different species. So, please put on light on this matter.


Some of the doubts can be cleared by persual of earlier discussions at efi site link:

Physalis angulata


Yes Sir, it seems to be P. angulata L., as per http://www.jse.ac.cn/wenzhang/aps06141.pdf, though one or two points differ, eg. anther colour, erect-robust habitat (this plant is not erect robust). But, then unless one examines whole population from several places one cannot come into concrete conclusion.

Yes, Physalis angulata ..


Thank you Sir. Another one https://groups.google.indiantreepix/Aj_BBBSVoJ is also Physalis angulata L., though anthers are not purple there.

Physalis minima …!


For me it looks more like P.minima  : https://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/265850


This is a very common plant here.


Please go through my post

Flowers would decide but looks like P. lagascae
Table 1 Distinguishing morphological characters of Physalis angulata and P. lagascae 
Character                     P. angulata                                                                            P. lagascae 
Plants                            erect, robust                                                                            diffuse, slender, smaller
Plant parts                    more or less smooth or glabrescent                                   pubescent
Leaves                           less oblique, more dentate                                                    more oblique, less dentate
Flower (corolla)           >7 mm across, pale yellow or white                                      <6 mm across, yellow
Anthers                         bluish                                                                                          yellow
Fruiting pedicels          >1 cm                                                                                         <1 cm
Fruiting calyces            tingled purple, 5-ribbed (weakly 10-angled), ovoid             greenish, obtusely 10-angled, sub-globose
Berry                               ca. 1.2 cm diameter                                                                 ca. 0.6 cm in diameter


This is somewhat runner nature and Physalis lagascae has got no distribution in Nepal.

Could it be Physalis halicacabum Crantz. ??


Yes, it looks close as per images at
