For me it looks like Physalis minima L. (accepted name as per theplantlist :  http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-2549450   ).  According to other link of theplantlist  ;  http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-29600210   Physalis minima L. is a synonym of Physalis angulata var. angulata.  Which is the valid name and the latest version.

Format copied:  well done, I am glad


Identity :   matches descriptions
it says yellow flower with violet throat
and leaves with secondary nerves looping near the margin

these venation pattern was what had attracted my attention in the past and now.



for newer //latest names etc ,we should refer it to Gurcharanji perhaps?

Regards
Ushadi

There should be no minima/maxima in Physalis by now . The posted specimen fits the bill for Physalis angulata { and by same token Physalis joe-diasii as well ......because the difference between two is only leaf margin , as per description in EFI , and definitely this needs be studied more . 
 
In my view , a difference of single character in two species is ok for field work , there should be more on closer examination . }

Thanks Dr.Rakesh ji.  Which  official website  needs to be checked for the latest / correct names ?  As of now I am referring to theplantlist  as the authentic website.
