Quincula lobata, purple ground cherry. Does anyone have seed of this Western native? I have some native perennial seeds to trade.

Looking for native seed.
Two DG members have it on their lists:

Neither of the 2 people listed as having seeds are still active members so there is no real source then.

do you mean chinese lanterns? i have a few seeds
i am asking because that is what came up when i googled the scientific name. not what came up when i searched plant files for the common name
Not the annual chineese laterns with the red pods. This plant is a western native that just happens to sometimes be called by the same common name. This is the plant I am looking for, if you have seeds of it, I would find something to trade for them. I believe the more commonly used name is purple groundcherry.

Ok, maybe this pic will load.
Ooo that's pretty. Looks like it would make a nice ground cover.
So lets find some then!
Cal flora lists it as: Physalis lobata
