'''''Physalis pruinosa''''' is a plant in the genus ''[[Physalis]]'' in the nightshade family [[Solanaceae]].  It is a native species in a range extending from northern Mexico through Central America.<ref>[https://npgsweb.ars-grin.gov/gringlobal/taxonomydetail.aspx?id=318476 USDA National Plant Germplasm System]</ref>  It is currently the subject of research into the possibility of developing a domesticated [[groundcherry]] variety for commercial exploitation.<ref>[https://www.hhmi.org/news/wild-plant-could-be-next-strawberry "This Wild Plant Could Be the Next Strawberry", Research News release, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, October 1, 2018]</ref> The research involves [[CRISPR]] genome editing which may be able to accelerate the domestication process.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.sciencealert.com/meet-weird-fruit-could-soon-become-common-strawberries-future-food-groundcherry-physalis-pruinosa-crispr|title=Meet The Weird Fruit That Could Soon Become as Common as a Strawberry|last=Dockrill|first=Peter|work=ScienceAlert|access-date=2018-10-02|language=en-gb}}</ref>

Similar to [[Physalis peruviana]] but the plant has a lower habit, the fruit are smaller, more yellow rather than orange when ripe, and the flavor is different (very pineapple-like in my opinion).
