Physalis crassifolia, also known as yellow nightshade groundcherry or thick-leaf ground-cherry, is a flowering plant in the nightshade family. It is found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, typically in dry desert and mountain areas. This perennial herb has a ridged, branching stem and oval leaves with smooth or toothed edges. Its yellow flowers grow from the leaf axils and have a bell-like shape. As the fruit develops, the calyx of sepals at the base of the flower becomes an inflated, lantern-like structure that contains the berry.
