The plants and fruiting calyx of P. peruviana are densely villous. This seems to be P. angulata.

Mayur ji ... this must be Nicandra physalodes (native of Peru; naturalized elsewhere) ... locally known as पोपटी popti in Maharashtra.
Regards.
Dinesh

[Gurcharan Singh]

Mayur ji

Let us avoid different species in the same thread. This is Nicandra physalodes as suggested by Dinesh ji, common name apple of Peru.

A reply:

"Thought it was P. minima?" fromNitesh Ji.

[Gurcharan Singh]

As earlier indicated today in another thread, P. minima is no longer a valid name, at least for Indian plants. This is P. angulata.
