Calliphysalis is a genus of perennial plants in the nightshade family Solanaceae.[1] It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Calliphysalis carpenteri, commonly known as Carpenter's groundcherry. Calliphysalis carpenteri is native to sandy soils on the coastal plain regions of south-eastern North America from northern Florida to Louisiana and Arkansas,[2][3] it was first described from specimens collected in West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana.[4] Its species name honors the botanical contributions of early Louisiana naturalist William Marbury Carpenter (1811-1848).[1][4]
