- Diagnosis
- Lycianthoides calycina differs from the fossils Physalis infinemundi, P. hunickenii, and Eophysaloides inflata in its non-inflated calyx with prominent, finger-like appendages and its venation pattern, wherein secondary veins extend from the base of the calyx to the primary vein tips, giving rise to a reticulum of thinner tertiary veins. Lycianthoides also differs from extant Lycianthes and Capsicum in its smaller size and usually thinner finger-like appendages.
