|discussion=<p>In Physalis fendleri, the corolla limb is reflexed at maturity. Some populations in New Mexico have mostly retrorse, and very few branched, hairs. In the flora area, P. fendleri can be found as far west as southern California, northward into southern Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, and eastward into western Oklahoma and Texas.</p>
