|discussion=<p>Populations of Physalis angulata with linear to lanceolate, sinuate leaf blades can be found in Arizona, California, Florida, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. When not in flower, narrow-leaved P. angulata is difficult to distinguish from P. acutifolia. The latter species has nearly rotate, widely flaring corollas that are pale yellow to nearly white with a green or yellow star-shaped tinge in the throat.</p>
