Physalis peruviana is a species of plant in the nightshade family (Solanaceae) native to Chile and Peru.[2] Within that region, it is called aguaymanto, uvilla or uchuva, in addition to numerous indigenous and regional names. In English, its common names include Cape gooseberry, goldenberry and Peruvian groundcherry.[2][3][4][5]
The history of P. peruviana cultivation in South America can be traced to the Inca Empire.[6][7] It has been cultivated in England since the late 18th century, and in South Africa in the Cape of Good Hope since at least the start of the 19th century.[2] Widely introduced in the 20th century, P. peruviana is now cultivated or grows wild across the world in temperate and tropical regions.[3]
