Choke cherry is Prunus virginiana - a type of cherry tree.

Ground cherry is also called Chinese lantern and is a member of the 
Nightshade family.

American Gooseberry (Ribes hirtellum), European Gooseberry (R. 
grossularia) are the well known pubescent, deliciously tart, green or 
red fruit.

Physalis peruviana edulis is the Cape Gooseberry - from the same 
family as chile peppers and tomatoes etc. - Solanaceae.
