I'm not sure how Physalis became (historically) connected to Plant 1v.
Physalis alkakengi is very distinctive. It has little orange lanterns that form a cage that reveals the fruit inside. The "lantern" tips are pointed and they typically hang rather than standing upright. The leaves are pointed, petioled, distinctly alternate, and certainly not clasping. It has little or nothing in common with 1v except that it bears a round fruit.
Most herbals, even those with bad drawings, are usually able to represent Physalis in a way that it is recognizable.
