Brugmansia
''Brugmansia'' is a genus of seven species of flowering plants in the nightshade family Solanaceae. They are woody trees or shrubs, with pendulous flowers, and have no spines on their fruit. Their large, fragrant flowers give them their common name of angel's trumpets, a name sometimes used for the closely related genus ''Datura''. ''Brugmansia'' species are amongst the most toxic of ornamental plants, containing tropane alkaloids of the type also responsible for the toxicity and deliriant effects of both jimsonweed and the infamous deadly nightshade. All seven species are known only in cultivation or as escapees from cultivation, and no wild plants have ever been confirmed. They are therefore listed as Extinct in the Wild by the IUCN Red List, although they are popular ornamental plants and still exist wild outside their native range as introduced species. It is suspected that their extinction in the wild is due to the extinction of some animal which previously dispersed the s ...

Datura
''Datura'' is a genus of nine species of highly poisonous, vespertine-flowering plants belonging to the nightshade family Solanaceae. They are commonly known as thornapples or jimsonweeds, but are also known as devil's trumpets (not to be confused with angel's trumpets, which are placed in the closely related genus ''Brugmansia''). Other English common names include moonflower, devil's weed, and hell's bells. All species of ''Datura'' are extremely poisonous and potentially psychoactive, especially their seeds and flowers, which can cause respiratory depression, arrhythmias, fever, delirium, hallucinations, anticholinergic syndrome, psychosis, and even death if taken internally. Due to their effects and symptoms, they have occasionally been used not only as poisons, but also as hallucinogens by various groups throughout history. Traditionally, psychoactive administration of ''Datura'' species has often been associated with witchcraft and sorcery or similar practices in man ...

Datura Ferox
''Datura ferox'', commonly known as long spined thorn apple and fierce thornapple, as well as Angel's-trumpets, is a species of ''Datura''. Like all such species, every part of the plant contains deadly toxins that can kill animals (including humans) that ingest it. Its fruit, red-brown when ripe, has unusually long thorns or spikes. The species was first described in 1756 by Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus. ''Ferox'' means "strongly fortified," referring to the fearsome-looking spines on the seed pod. The species was long thought to have originated in southeastern China, but recent work by Symon and Haegi has demonstrated that, like all other ''Datura'' species, it is in fact native to the Americas. The species is very close in morphology to ''Datura quercifolia'', of which it may constitute a subspecies.'Datura (Solanaceae) is a New World Genus' by D.E. Symon and L. Haegi in (page 197 of) ''Solanaceae III: Taxonomy Chemistry Evolution'', Editors J.G. Hawkes, R.N. Lester, M. Nee & N. Est ...

Maurandya Barclayana
''Maurandya barclayana'' (syn. ''Asarina barclayana''; orth. var. ''M. barclaiana''), commonly called angels trumpet or Mexican viper, is an ornamental plant in the family Plantaginaceae native to Mexico. This plant is cited in ''The movements and habits of climbing plants'' by Charles Darwin. Description Growing to in height, this herbaceous perennial climber has ivy-like leaves and white, pink or purple tubular flowers that occur in spring and summer. It is a climbing, fibrous-rooted perennial with stems usually having adventitious roots. Its lamina leaves that are triangular-cordate or triangular-hastate, 1–3.5 cm in length and 8–30 mm wide. The apex is acute to attenuate. Basal lobes are acute or undiscerning, with some margins, and small teeth towards the base. It is palmately veined and has a petiole that is 1–1.5 cm long. Peduncles are 2–5 cm long. Sepals are long and simple, which are 10–15 mm long in flower and 20 mm long ...
