Nicandra physalodes, Pers. (Atropa physalodes, Linn. Physalodes peruvianum, Kuntze. N. physaloides, Gaertn.). Known as Apple-of-peru, a strong spreading annual, 3-4 ft. high, grown for the showy blue fls. and odd frs.: glabrous: Lvs. elliptic or elliptic-ovate, sinuate and toothed, narrowed into a prominent petiole: fls. solitary in the axils, on recurving pedicels, an inch or more across, shaped like a potato flower, the corolla blue or bluish: fr. a thin-walled and nearly or quite dry berry, inclosed in an enlarged, strongly 5-winged calyx. B.M. 2458.—The apple-of-Peru is an old-fashioned garden annual, now rarely seen. It has escaped from cult, in some places in the U. S., and it is now widely distributed in the tropics. It is often confounded with the ground cherry and alkekengi, which are species of Physalis. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture. It may be out of date, but still contains valuable and interesting information which can be incorporated into the remainder of the article. Click on "Collapse" in the header to hide this text.
