“I only saw Physalis”, “If attested in Latin: The usage note doesn't apply to Latin, cp. the quotes in ruderalis, Physalis.” J3133 (talk) 06:51, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Note that I meticulously tried to find Latin uses, and I came to the conclusion that it has not been used in Latin texts, because obviously its Greek and in Latin one can use or  or else; for literal and transferred senses there are enough native words, so this is, meseems, really ever only a component of translingual species names.

 * Searching even for the inflected forms, the only cites I've spotted so far that are in Latin, not capitalized, and not scannos, are of it as part of taxonomic names, as Fay Freak says, but it does give me pause that a few of those cites are in Latin works and fully inflect the taxonomic name as if using it as a sequence of 'regular' Latin descriptive words, like:
 * 1800, Philippe Petit-Radel, De amoribus Pancharitis et Zoroae poema eroticon idalio stylo exaratum, vita auctoris, pages lxxxviij - lxxxix:
 * Mitto quæ haberem dicenda de holothuriis physalibus, de medusis velellis et argonautis argo, tum loliginibus et scolopendra phosphorea (1) in quibus incidimus dum viam versus insulam de l'Ascension carperemus,
 * (1) Holothuria physalis, medusa velella et Argonauta Argo dum placidum est mar, ex imis emergunt fluctibus et natantes,

 * We should remember this for argument why even translingual entries can have Latin inflection tables, as I have already suggested at other occasions to maintain. So this still has to be moved to Translingual. Fay Freak (talk) 10:39, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
