Physalis (/ ˈ f aɪ s ə l ɪ s /, / f ɪ-/, / f aɪ ˈ s eɪ l ɪ s /, /-ˈ s æ-/, from φυσαλλίς : phusallís 'bladder' [3]) is a genus of approximately 75 to 90 flowering plants in the nightshade family (), which are native to the Americas and Australasia.
The family Physaliidae is monotypic, consisting of only one genus, Physalia. [2] The genus is also monotypic, containing only P. physalis. [1] [3] There is a long history of the genus being described with multiple species, such as the Pacific man o' war (P. utriculus), however most of these species are now considered synonyms for P. physalis.
Other species, such as P. aeuata and P. violacea were described later. The tomatillo is also often classified as P. ixocarpa Brot. [24] However, P. philadelphica is the most important species economically. [25] The nomenclature for Physalis has changed since the 1950s. P. philadelphica was at one time classified as a variety of P. ixocarpa.
