Poison plants of Western Australia: the thorn apples (datura species)

Abstract

Many garden enthusiasts are familiar with a shrub or small tree known as the Angel\u27s Trumpet or Trumpet-flowered Brugmansia. Some nurserymen call it Brugsmania. There is another garden favourite which does not appear to possess a common name but is an annual or perennial plant from one to four feet in height, of summer growth and carrying erect violet or white trumpet-shaped flowers succeeded by large bristly or prickly pods. Both these are species of Datura. Another species is native to Western Australia while four more are introduced noxious weeds
