"Physalis (/\u02C8fa\u026As\u0259l\u026As/, sometimes /fa\u026A\u02C8se\u026Al\u026As/, from physalis = bladder) is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), which grow in warm temperate and subtropical regions of the world. Most of the species, of which there may be 75-90, are indigenous to the New World. Cultivated species and weedy annuals have been introduced worldwide. A notable feature is the formation of a large papery husk derived from the calyx, which partly or fully encloses the fruit."@en . .
