El examen del material del lectotipo e isotipo de Physalis macrophysa Rydb. muestra su compatibilidad con P. longifolia, con hojas que son casi glabras, lanceoladas ovadas a ampliamente lanceoladas, y la presencia de pelos cortos y simples en los pecíolos y pedicelos. Aparte de sus cálices grandes inflados en la fructificación (3.0–4.0 cm × 2.5–3.0 cm), tiene poco en común morfológicamente con el otro cáliz grande inflado Physalis macrosperma de arenas profundas que es endémica a una parte de la llanura costera del golfo oeste de los Estados Unidos. En cambio, P. longifolia tiene tallos y pedicelos que son casi glabros o con pelos antrorsos, adpresos, no glandulares y hojas ovado-lanceoladas, versus pelos cortos glandulares y no glandulares que se extienden hacia arriba y hojas cordadas y truncadas. Estamos de acuerdo con autores anteriores en que P. macrophysa Rydb., si merece un estatus taxonómico, debe tratarse como P. longifolia var. subglabrata (Mack. & Bush) Cronquist forma macrophysa (Rydb.) Steyermark o, alternativamente, puede representar simplemente una variación dentro de P. longifolia que no merece ningún rango taxonómico.
