Two
species of the large genus of poisonous plants, Datura,
have become naturalised in Tasmania. D. stramonium
(thornapple) and D. ferox are both robust herbs. The
flowers are large and white. The fruit are thorny.
Angels trumpets (Brugmansia species) are also
commonly known as Datura. These erect poisonous shrubs are
widespread as garden plants but do not appear to have become
naturalised.
