Coastal ground-cherry

Look closely to see this small plant with yellow pods in the back sand dunes of South Lido Beach.
They are coastal ground-cherries, a perennial herb about 12 in.high. The drooping fruit is a berry within a papery sac. It's hard to tell them from the sand ground-cherries which have wider leaves.
