Toxicity
Various sites describe Physalis species as highly toxic in potentially all parts except the ripe fruit: (does not distinguish species),  (warns about "all species of Physalis"),  ("lethal"), to name a few. It seems worth mentioning here. --Fru1tbat (talk) 17:26, 23 February 2023 (UTC)


 * With this edit, I added a section on the potential for poisoning using two of your sources. Thanks for drawing our attention to this characteristic. Zefr (talk) 19:11, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Physalis Edulis?
This name is given for cape gooseberry seeds on almost all the british seed suppliers websites, with no mention of Physalis Peruviana. However, its not listed as a synonym. Does someone want to add it? 84.66.216.95 (talk) 01:39, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * According to Kew, P. edulis is a synonym for P. peruviana - the most common scientific name, i.e., same plant. Added to the species box. Zefr (talk) 01:50, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
