D. tatula was originally described as a species different from D. stramonium by Linné and I admit, that Linné was probaby right, even though modern botany gather these two species with D. bernhardtii and re-named them D. stramonium. Thus you get D. stramonium var stramonium, D. stramonium var. inermis, D. stramonium var. stramonium f. labilis (both spiny and smooth fruits on the same plant), D. stramonium var tatula f. tatula, D. stramonium var godronii (lavender flower, smooth fruit) D. stramonium var. tatula f. bernhardtii. Some even tried to put D. ferox and D. quercifolia into D. stramonium too. *LOL*
