| − | Physalis franchetii, Mast. (P. Alkekengi var. Franchetii, Hort.). Chinese Lantern Plant. Differs from P. Alkekengi chiefly in its greater size, making a plant 2 ft. tall, glabrous, petioles shorter, and bearing calices 2 in. diam.: originally described as an annual, by others said to be sometimes biennial, but apparently perennial; probably variable in duration. Japan. G.C. III. 16:441. Gn. 48, p. 435; 49:232; 57, p. 28; 58, p. 196. G.M. 37:626. J.H. III. 29:343. R.H. 1897:376, and p. 35. R.B. 22:61; 23, p. 91. Gt. 45, p. 636; 46, p. 193. G.W. 4, p. 196. A.G. 18:81. F.R. 1:426. One of the most profusely advertised novelties of recent oars. It is a most striking and showy plant. It was brought to England from Japan by James H. Veitch, and first described with a name by Masters in 1894. In 1879, however, it had been described by Franchet, of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, as a form of P. Alkekengi, but without name. The frs. are very brilliant orange-red in autumn. The berry is said to be edible. It is very likely a variant of P. Alkekengi. The plant called P. Bunyardii, Hort., is a very free-fruiting form, not so robust as P. Franchetii, with glowing calices; probably a form of this species or by some suggested as a hybrid with P. Alkekengi.
