description
Physalis pringlei is an annual , herbaceous plant that reaches heights of 1 to 1.7 m. It is hairy with sticky, articulated, protruding trichomes of varying lengths. Some of them are covered with brownish, glandular heads. The leaf blade of the foliage leaves is egg-shaped, not heart-shaped, somewhat narrowed towards the petiole, sometimes also irregularly narrowed. They are usually 4 to 8 cm long and have one to three irregular teeth or small lobes on each side, or they have entire margins. The leaf surfaces are sparsely hairy, along the veins the hair is more pronounced. The leaf stalks are usually 1 to 3 cm long.
The calyx is 7 to 10 mm long at the time of flowering and measures 5 to 8 mm in diameter at the base of the calyx lobes. The shape of the calyx is elongated or elongated-spreading. The calyx lobes are egg-shaped to lanceolate and make up about a third to half the length of the calyx. The crown is colored yellow, spotted with five somewhat dissolving, strongly darkened marks. The corolla tube is hairy with fine felted hair between the spots and the point of attachment of the stamens . The crown becomes 15 to 20 mm long and 18 to 22 mm wide. Its outline is slightly wheel-shaped pentagonal. The anthers are bluish, elongated and 2.2 to 3 mm long. The stamens are 3 to 4 mm long and hairless.
The fruit is a berry surrounded by an expanding calyx. This is 25 to 40 mm long, 18 to 25 mm wide, ovoid to elongated ovoid and five-angled in cross section with ribs or slight angles in between. It is hairy similar to the stems, but less dense.
