This datura we just call jimson here started out indigenous, but I grow cultivated now.
I would like to add this photo to BDB, but need to know correct name. Does anyone
here know it?
Native datura .does anyone know it's correct name?
Yep! I do.
In my book it is the species Datura tatula. If it get knobby or smooth pods its Datura tatula var. inermis. However, when I use the expression "in my book" it is, because many botanists regard it as a variety of Datura stramonium. lol If you prefer to call it by this name it is Datura stramonium var. tatula f. tatula and if the pods are smooth: Datura stramonium var. tatula f. godronii
Datura taxonomy and nomenclature is as wierd and unorderly as Brugmansia taxonomy, so there are lots of possibillities for names. lol The taxonomy I use is different from the current "legal" used by (only) some botanists. It is different, because many taxonomers prefer to read other taxonomers papers and cite all kind of errors, whereas I actually grow the plants, study the closely every day their entire life cycle and first then I consult the literature :-)
Wow!!
Tonny, you really know your datutas!! LOL
Going now to check its pods ..
Thanks (o:
